Yes, in fact I think that there is nothing to discuss. HAM-HOWTO is not
an HOWTO.
We can try do to an inteligent web-based system to register the linux
ham software. HAM-HOWTO followers will want still to have this datas in
/usr/doc/HOWTO/ directory of their cdrom (so they can do a system to
translate the DataBase in SGML format). 

As Linux is being well accepted in hamradio, everyday there will be more
software, and the HOWTO will grow, grow, grow ... Until LDP people say
"hey ! What's this ? " :-)
