After all, Unix is also the philosophy of achieving the goals you have with the tools you find appropriate with regards of your way to think.... But I suspect that implicitely telling Manoj that he thinks top-down because he actually likes cdbs will get you into trouble, dude. Top-down is not exactly a very liberal attitude (reference to a thread in debconf-discuss for those not aware).....(just small pun intended)
