We came a full circle - that's the argument. We say overlap, duplication 
and incomplete implementation in this area is a problem. Since the speed 
of development in this area is truly glacial at the moment and the 
practical advantages that i can experience personally (directly as a 
Linux user and indirectly as a maintainer) are miniscule so far, caution 
is warranted IMO. You say there is no problem. We'll have to agree to 
disagree i guess.
