Really, what's the benefit of 1.0+quilt or 1.0+dpatch over 3.0+quilt?…
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious: I can somewhat understand
people who like 1.0 with direct changes (even if some people find it
confusing, that's somewhat fine by me and I can live with them), so I'm
not really pushing to get rid of them. But 1.0 with a patch system
feels just trying to duplicate 3.0 for the sake of old times u.u
Especially because having the patch system handled in d/rules is
somewhat prone to confusion for patch/unpatch and IME troublesome to
rebase the patches.
