Probably not in the same way, no. But right now, we don't really have a mechanism to do otherwise, short of hiding it somewhere in the filesystem where people have a hard time finding it, which I think is even worse. We want eventually to break the WOS up into pieces where certain (most, probably) components can be an optional, easy installation, but that requires infrastructure that's still in progress. For now, sticking it into the WOS is what we've got. What this means in ARC terms, I don't know. I don't know that we have a way of expressing "If it's available at all, then it has the following characteristics, but having it available at all is user-driven". Then again, we already have that situation because of metaclusters, so maybe it's a non-issue. Joe? Danek
