Exactly. And I said 1) define "suite" (this is where we started) 2) the cut-off point should be higher. Indeed, by rejecting my random-sample suite::abiword you've demonstrated that you agree with me that we *shouldn't* have tags for self-proclaied "suites" with slightly over five members. >> Openoffice and xfce already are suites, the gnome and kde office >> suites are subsets of the existing suite::gnome and ::kde, and the > > There is nothing wrong with being a subset. you might want to run > gnome-office on a KDE system, too. Or koffice on Gnome. Maybe. Would we want them tagged "suite::kde suite::koffice" or "suite::kde:office"? >> others don't exist - or anyway, "apt-cache pkgnames | grep ^$FOO" >> gets me no hits for stable/main.

Ah, it's webdeveloper jargon; it would never have occurred to me to call these a "suite". You can't expect me to be any help tagging the right things (would every single package tagged suite::apache also be in suite::lamp? How about all the linux-source packages?), so what's your plan for getting all the appropriate packages tagged? -- JBR Ankh kak!
