Now expand upon those. > Oh yeah,and who said we really needed more than one use case? If you make your design decisions based upon a single use case, your design will probably suck when people try to use it for anything else.

You miss my point. I'm not saying binaries are useless. I'm saying you should establish all of what they're used for before making changes. A change that improves binary packages for one use case may make them less ideal for others. -- Ciaran McCreesh
