+1 to this. :) I'd also add that integrating third-party tools to our core design always brings risks (associated to the maintenance of said tools). For some time, our boot scripts integrated with Runit and we ended up having to dissociate from that, and it was extra work. If anything, I think we should go towards _more_ minimalism if we want to keep the project viable. -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
