That's a very nice idea, indeed.. I wonder if there is such an io_slave
for KDE already, too?
On the other hand, if there were a simpler way of doing it without forcing
people to use package managers AND without breaking existing things, that
would be the best. Freedom of choise; even in whether or not you want
to use package a manager. I'm not claiming that my hierarchy suggestion
is the best way to do it - more opinions on that?
