That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that duplicated work is a cost of doing a fork, and if you're okay with it then it's not so much a big deal as long as the people doing the duplicated work are ok with it. In the end, people would use what they want to use. :) _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
