I'm in the Christoph school of thought; I'd rather see archs get their patches upstream. I'm willing to tolerate subarchs (and get them working if no one else does) after a rather long argument w/ Sven. If you want to implement your proposal in a branch and get it working 100%, we can replace the subarch stuff w/ it. I would recommend doing it sooner rather than later, however; if I get around to doing the subarch stuff, and it works, I won't be overly excited about dealing w/ more package renaming. I must admit that I do prefer your proposal's naming convention for header packages, however. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
