I'd personally, from a neatness perspective, either choose one or do both.
Letting people pick which one they want can get messy, unless we can get
something set up to copy from one type to the other.
Personally, most of us aren't hardcore coders that're going in and
changing the actual program code much, so the actual packages are
straightforward. Most of it is script tinkering, which is done from
scratch as far as we're concerned for new packages.
I still need to read those docs on CVS to get a better feel for it, but
the idea of picking and choosing just rubs me wrong.
