Hi,
I think that one thing that is missing is integration with VCS-based
maintenance. In that context, replacing PET would be a worthwhile goal
too.
Regarding the design, I think that querying UDD directly should work if:
- the queries are properly optimized
- the machine is upgraded to something recent (currently it's a machine
which was obsoleted by HP in 2005, so there's some margin for
improvement). There's work in progress on that by DSA.
