Still, the > commercial possibilities of this are very tempting indeed... at the risk of being called before the committee on unamerican activities I have to say that the 'commercial possibilities' aren't terribly interesting to me. I didn't write yum to make money. I wrote it (hah) to make my life easier. I understand that there are people using yum commercially and I think that's great. But if yum ads too much complexity in the name of making it commercially viable I'll be very disappointed. I add features that I think are 'cool' or are useful or that others convince me are good ideas. I'm not, yet, convinced that that idea is a neat enough to justify the suffering involved in making it happen. so I don't discount features b/c they are commercially viable, but I don't score them up for that trait either. -sv
