True. But the whole point is for people to *volunteer* to participate in
slash-package. Dan believes in free markets, and is attempting to
advance a free-market solution--i.e., one which people adopt because
they see benefits for themselves. He hasn't shown any interest in making
people participate, and is unlikely to allow you to make decisions for
the authors.

Indeed, he is already on record stating that he'd rather see Apache work
THE SAME on every platform, than see it work LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE on
some individual platform. It's an easy corollary that Dan isn't
interested in supporting "linuxfromscratch" in which other people's
software is shoehorned into your--or even his--admin structure.

Better to start urging the folks at php.net to adopt slashpackage, than
vice versa.
