objection, you honor! :) something that hasn't really been brought up (i mentioned it on the non-webapps thread in -devel already) is that this makes packages potentially opened in an unconfigured state. unless you can ensure that the system is only running on localhost, it has some significant security implications. personally i'd rather that /usr/lib/cgi-bin goes the way of the dodo, and that packages are required to ship/generate webserver config files if they want to function out of the box. sean
