Why is it important that we not be able to parallel build an editor? Is it such a frequent build-time dependency that we wouldn't want to specify it? It is essential that we make it extra-hard for a user to uninstall their last editor, since it is impossible to install an editor without an editor already present? I can't imagine using a system without an editor. I can't imagine using a system without screen/tmux either. That doesn't mean that either belongs in the system set. I'd be all for keeping it in the stage3, on the install CDs, and having it in the default @world though. This is my concern with @system. Stuff gets stuck in there for the noblest of intentions, but it is the wrong solution to the problems it is being used to solve. -- Rich
