Honestly, if it was knocked down to <50 left in the tree, I'd be fine |
| 12 |
with it. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Once reaching that level, the following could be done: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1) mangling built_with_use adding a an explicit whitelist of callers, |
| 17 |
making everything else a die. |
| 18 |
2) keep the existing /var/db/pkg format aware code in place. |
| 19 |
3) Expand the function w/ manager aware code as necessary to deal w/ |
| 20 |
said managers potentially shifting to new vdb forms. |

I doubt ciaran will like #3, but if we can get it down to .15% of the |
| 23 |
tree at that point pragmatism should rule the day; as long as the PM |
| 24 |
has alternate ways to query the info without accessing the VDB |
| 25 |
directly (even if those ways are outside PMS), I'm fine with it, and I |
| 26 |
expect most folk would be. |
