The one problem I see with this proposal is that it does not
put into place any transition strategy for either web servers, and
packages that ptocide cgi-bin scripts.
In other words, if this policy change is accepted as stated,
the following 50 packages would immediately become policy non
conforming.
I suggest that the policy wording be changed to either make
this a recommendation, for the moment, or the policy proposal be
suspended until these packages have been given a chance to change.
The best path may be to get the http server packages to add in
the new script directory as an alias, and then put the change in
policy as a recommendation, and, later, when most packages have had a
chance to change, we can put into policy the current working.
We need some one to take the lead on getting this conversion
process underway; perhaps the sponsor of this proposal can do that?
