I regret that my second statement came across as an accusation and
certainly that you heard it as a conspiracy.
I'd like to be heard differently.
My understanding at the time (which you have since corrected) is that
you were making the proposal because you believed it would make a
transition to canonical paths easier.
In my mind that would be a good reason for advocating for such a
transition.
That is the spirit in which I made the assumption about your reasoning.
Again, I regret that you heard things in a different tone.
I read your original message as a valuable contribution that in my
analysis I thought was a bad idea because of the dpkg disappearing file
bug.
