That's nice for source builders, but what happens to the distros? 30+ provides?
I'm concerned it might not stick around. Antithesis to the split, and I don't
want anything that even remotely smells of host.def creeping it's way back in
(that's not *actually* possible)! :-) I could be wrong, time will tell. Silly
nostalgia aside, unless we are forced to do so, I'd rather not address this in
the book until after 8.2.
Well, I guess it's not that bad for distros, because proto packages are "-dev"
on Debian, "devel" on other distros, and only devel packages might depend on
protos (that is, not so many)
But I do not think there is any emergency in including the merge package into
the book, and certainly not before 8.2! Who files an "x-future" ticket, so
that we don't forget?
Just file for 8.3.
