But tag sets don't need to be carefully controlled. The way you give users control over tags using sets is to make sets in overlays be merged with sets with the same name in the main tree, and then allow users who feel like it to publish an overlay containing their tags. > Here is how I see tags being used: >=20 > 1.

Not really a problem. Sets are usable for lots of things, not just installing. They're useful in configuration files, for example -- you'd probably never want to install every X driver either, but you might want to set some options for every X driver. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/lZ/i0FEbv9HK8HadAUyvlvC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk4JcmMACgkQ96zL6DUtXhHyVQCgwQV/jDyAIWWJSV1l++SYHcDt /woAnjJTVpXoyVYQyvkrXXHtgEJ41BDG =OIrs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/lZ/i0FEbv9HK8HadAUyvlvC--
