A possible way: Make the BR configuration tool generate the corresponding OE configuration for the BR supported subsets. A better way: Create a sweet OE configuration tool, capable to make BR obsolete in term of user experience and system performance (size, speed, etc...) In the long term, even OE will face concurrence from even better concept more closely related to the main current distributions. Such candidates could be EmDebian or the future Debian Multiarch. ScratchBox have gain more and more attention too. Too many tools fragment the community. I also think that merging the bests features from projects with very similar goal will be a benefit for everyone in the long term. Jean-Christian de Rivaz
