Yes, please - and if the problem lies in backwards compatibility with
prior conventions where any change forces existing users to download
too much, would it be possible to make a new repository that would
be maintained in parallel for a while?  Then as people install new
distributions they could cut over to the new, hopefully more compatible
repositories.  So far I haven't been able to keep a machine working
right for more than a month without massive conflicts if I use
more than one repository in addition to the fedora base.  For example,
right now, apt would like to install a kernel from ccrma but complains
that there is no kernel-module-alsa which I think came from freshrpms
last time.
