Well, anyway. I'm looking forward to packages possible to be released to many systems with just one package.
Also makepkg and pacman can be used to create packages and install packages from this API / Standard. Not too worse in my eyes. Anyway, this is a huge gap in linux at the moment, packages and installation, and this is thought to be covered with this effort, to make linux "just usable" for standard users. I see it as a trend, bringing linux for standard users, to bring it in a better position on the market. Should have been done a long time ago already.
