Is this a hard constraint for you to be a package contributor? If the contributor process and build system is ready before a decision is made on how to incorporate extra macros... are you willing to contribute "some" packages that don't require extra macros? I also would like to hear what you think the drawbacks are to allowing the extra macros to constrast with the list advantages you see. -jef
