Greg, can you just commit it? There is no question that it's an improvement over using -f.You know, I will just backout the USE_DESTDIR support for replace, enabling it by default for PKG_DEVELOPER and make you and everyone else happy to get back the original perfectly working system.
That will be funny - you complete waste my process of updating p5-* modules when you do this. Why can't you bring exact examples (not some abstract ones), where the pkg_rr behaves so badly wrong as you summon? I more and more get the dim feeling that most of your warnings and statements are not understood (by me and others) as you meant them. I do not know whether you have the same problem as myself - no native speaker and create bafflegab here and there ... If this is true, I offer to listen to your arguments in German and we find an understandable translation for the English native speakers. Jens
