Are you trying to make it easier or harder to generate file systems? Lots of developers do not have time to learn the symantics of bitbake/monotone, etc. Anything that can make it easier to set up and build is needed. Otherwise it is just easier to build it from scratch. -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, MES, Trolltech
