I could certainly see a case for removing pkg.depend.bypass-generate:
you're unlikely to ever want to re-run pkgdepend on a package.
Removing linted would be more contentious, for example in the case where
a user uploads a new package, then tries to lint the entire repository:
the repo would report errors on unrelated packages that were previously
intentionally bypassed, for whatever reason.
Another option might be to give pkgsend the ability to read in transforms
from one or more files.
Yes! I'd wanted that in the svr4 convert work to allow transforms to
automatically tag SMF services and the like -- can I resurrect that bit
of code too? Still awaiting reviews for the pkgsend SVR4 bundle
changes, so I can revisit making it perform general-purpose transforms
during publication?
Hmmm...
How about forking & execing pkgmogrify as a filter?
