Honestly, if it was knocked down to <50 left in the tree, I'd be fine with it. Once reaching that level, the following could be done: 1) mangling built_with_use adding a an explicit whitelist of callers, making everything else a die. 2) keep the existing /var/db/pkg format aware code in place. 3) Expand the function w/ manager aware code as necessary to deal w/ said managers potentially shifting to new vdb forms. I doubt ciaran will like #3, but if we can get it down to .15% of the tree at that point pragmatism should rule the day; as long as the PM has alternate ways to query the info without accessing the VDB directly (even if those ways are outside PMS), I'm fine with it, and I expect most folk would be. ~harring
