As first thing: thanks Helio for the work you're going to do, and thanks
also for Klas for the good work done until now :)

I'm quite interested in this, at the moment the keg-1,2,3 system is quite
difficult for a 'final user' to undestand.

About this I'm not too much happy: as far as I understood from the keg
policies, these aren't "packages", but just modules.
I don't think it's a good thing that the distributions can take a single
great package and then compile them.
I don't think this is the good way to do it, at least: it some distribution
packages the keg at release of, say, kde 3.3.1, and then an app (maybe
knetload) releases a version one week later, we'll have a conflict between
the keg's version and the new version.

Also, users which founds a complete new meta-package will found different
media players, image viewers, even two different passwords managers
(nothing about you Michael, it's only a theory :).

At at last, think about gentoo.. if the keg packages will be packaged all
together, we'll have a single package with a lot of unuseful (because too
much) and unrequested stuff.

Anyway these are only my 2 (euro)cents :)


P.S.: Helio be prepared: next week I'll stress you ;)
