Interesting, they say they are doing it "so it has real package management", I wonder why. I've always thought PM was the bees knees any way. Is something missing from PM?

It's true, I don't know why you would need real package management for a tool like PM. Perhaps it's more for the developer than the end product or end user.

That's what I figured it was when I saw him asking about using Arch. I'd think a good package tool could save him lots of time on the development end.

Giving it a little more thought, I suppose anyone wanting to remaster the ISO could make use of a good package tool as well.
