What happens if: 1) there is a project that provides conflicting binaries commonly used and expected, but which is not an official GNU project or 2) a project providing binaries we ship in /usr/gnu/ secedes from the GNU project Presumably, for 1), they'd have to deliver into /usr/sfw/. Which means they'd have 'g' prefixes or some similar distinction, defeating the purpose of the exercise. For 2), which has happened before, what would we do? I'm a bit concerned that "blessed as a GNU project" is an odd match to the desired features of /usr/gnu/. regards john
