Not really. We use lokkit so that when things change, there's only one implementation that needs changing. And this is a *good* thing. And augeas would be seen as a far more "one-off" dep than lokkit at this point to most of the world. > 2) Look to break up system-config-firewall-tui so that lokkit is a > separate package with less dependencies. The big dep that looks trimmable is rhpl as it's just used for translation stuff (... and I want to get things off of using rhpl.translate and just using the gettext module directly anyway).
