Exactly my point. I want to find out if there is really a technical or at least semi-technical issue or not. Saying "multiple versions of a single package should be installable" is a "what", not a "why". We need to figure out the "why" if we want to know if there is really an issue that actually needs to be addressed. > It was clearly admitted by "juanmabc" that there is issue, he also made > proposal how to solve it, but it was immediately dismissed with remark > of "easier life for package maintainers", which was inappropriate > generalization from my POV. Please note that Florian didn't dismiss the idea for no reason, just suggested alternative way of thinking that is more convenient. Again, this is about looking for "why" instead of "what". > I understand that everybody of us has a lot of thinks to do. That is not > reason for dismiss such idea. At the end, one more or less item on TODO > list makes no difference. At this moment it's not about an item on TODO list. It's still about finding if there is in fact anything worth adding to the TODO list.
