we had implemented for a while. But more and more and more people began
saying "hey, 'we' need more control with individual package selection",
and it spirals out of control. The same is true for more advanced
partitioning and everything else. Saying "this is it" really just isn't
sufficient -- the line basically has to be drawn as there or not. And
there just aren't enough people hours for "there".
I see. I guess if it remains too useful, then more people will want to keep using it, asking for more features, etc.?
