Email discussions are fun and easy, but often hard to summarize and build on. Blueprints on the wiki are the best place to document some of the thinking in ways that can be more helpful. I've started adding some links to the blueprint in the comments section: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCentralizedServiceAdministrator including a link to Brian J. Murrell's encuring insights from 2003 on higher-level interfaces: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg107191.html Please feel free to chime in there also....
