RE: Up for new maintainer - base-files and base-passwd
Since so little is in the base-cygwin and base-passwd packages, might it make sense to fold them into base-files? - Barry Disclaimer: Statements made herein are not made on behalf of NIAID.

No, IIRC there are issues with circular dependencies. Since these packages live very close to the root of the dependency tree, we have to be careful about the structure of the tree at that level. Merging packages together (e.g. grafting branches in the tree) needs to be considered VERY carefully. -- Chuck
