Konrad Windszus commented on JCRVLT-403:
----------------------------------------
bq. and their ancestor package is provided by the system.
Do you know by chance if there is any system (Sling, AEM) which is providing
such ancestor packages or if there is any plan to do so. I really fear that
this will not happen too soon, leaving no other choice than to go with type
"mixed".

> According to JCRVLT-170 it is not allowed to use {{includes}} or {{excludes}}
> below a filter rule for {{application}} packages. This is a pretty common
> pattern though for including overlays in an apps package to enforce creating
> the ancestor nodes with the right type.

> The use case of two different apps packages providing overlays below the same
> ancestor node should be supported (with both apps packages not knowing
> anything about each other) and still ensuring that the right node type is
> being created for ancestors.
> There must be a way of enforcing a certain ancestor node type during import
> and creating it in case it is not yet there, and failing in case if the
> ancestor is there with a different/incompatible type.
