I hardly understand the logic of not having small (objsizes gives 270 bytes) applet and having a dozens-of-Kbytes daemon even on so-called desktops, Roberto. Why on Earth anything other than a black box with a couple of leds is considered a "desktop"? And then why these desktops must use bloaty software?
Let us consider my case: I have ASUS F6E, linux, busybox, mc and chrooted building system. Am I running a desktop? I have to use some full-blown software packages, but I plan to port most of them to BB. Anytime I fell I've solved a particular problem of getting rid of a piece of full-blown software I try to share the experience with BB list. That is why I may sometimes seem way noisy :) Some ideas deserve to be merged in BB, some don't. But the latter should be nevertheless placed to some BB "quarantine" repository, IMO. For just because we may not see the longterm fruits does not mean the idea should go in vain, right? I see the discussion of introducing libm surrogate: situation is the same... What do you think about it, Roberto? On /proc/acpi/event: 1) acpid 1.0.6 released at 2007, June 30. Do you consider it a modern software? 2) most laptops report their fancy buttons in the form of ACPI events (mine does) -- but almost none of laptops provide evdev device for that. While they do so, /proc/acpi/event will live. Nothing doing...
