As a law of the land, this seems more appropriate for a John
Wayne movie ;-) I don't think this is a valid premise at all, not for
this forum. A package automation package needs the input of the
people who are likely to use it most often. After all, art critica
don't need to be great painters, do they?
I have attempted to start dialog about a requirements document
for features we would like to see in such a package; I'd like to get
this done before we talk about implementation issues or choosing
candidates; and I hope that you participate in that effort.
