Yes.

What we actually need, and that is the same for TeX Live and for all
distributions (at least inmy imagination), is:

- one (or several) system wide luatex cache thingies
- one per user (if the user wants to)
- a way to update the cache for specific trees only
  (luatools --system-only ...)
- and the adaption of the lua functions that the different caches are
  merged at loading time, the later (user) taking precedence over the
  former.

That would already be some big step forward.

;-) Let me sometimes get rid of some frustration .... ;-))) It does not
happen often anyway.

Best wishes
