1 Hello,
2
3 Is there a real reason to have <herd>no-herd</herd>? As I see it, it's
4 just an ugly hack which all programs have to learn and hack for no
5 benefit.
6
7 Wouldn't it be much better to just make <herd/> optional? Of course,
8 that probably would require fixes to programs using metadata.xml but
9 better develop a long-term fixing strategy than keep pushing this hack
10 over and over.
