Stephan imlemented the KGS because there where a couple of limitations which we run into. I think the best you can do is to find out what they issues are which the KGS solves. After that you are very welcome to show us a better way to solve the same issues at a package lavel. Probably a way to go is to make both concept compatible with each other. Which probably means we should be able to ignore versions in packages if a KGS concept get used?
