Right, but thats exactly what I'm talking about. It would be convenient
to have a consolidated system on the order of libc. There are many packages
that provide functionality that is similar to libc but eventually those
libraries are consolidated into a single library that people can count
on. This would be a free software equivelent to the java base classes
that is a single managed and coordinated framework. The final product
should be similar in spirit to libc.
