Why change a fundamental part of the packaging system and risk breaking things, merely to save about 350 bytes of disk space? Daniel
The point is not saving only 350 bytes. But reduce the number of possible keywords available in the Packages file and a better organization of the entire archive.
If we always have to stick 100% to Policies and possible breaks than we should just leave things like they are now. People rised a serious problem and the idea is to try to optimize as much as we can. IF and only IF we can come to a real better techincal solution noonewill tell us not to change policies. It's obvious that during a transition phase things can break but unstable is there.. ;)
