 This reminds me on the good old word about computers and software:
  fast, cheap, tiny
 Choose 2 out of these three, but not all of them at once.

 For a start, I would like to see the "command line packaging" tool be
implemented, all other is far to complex for the "multiple architectures"-
goal.

 Another thing came into my mind, now the Internet is everywhere.

 * Automatic update possibility over Internet, CD-ROM or other media.

 As a maintainer of the Gateway!-CD-ROM series dedicated to NetBSD, I am
of course interested into any standard packaging environment.
