It's a nice idea. On the theme of metadata that runs throughout the |
| 6 |
entire distribution however there is a common argument against it. The |
| 7 |
current information points the user to the package homepage which is |
| 8 |
considered as the most uptodate and proficient resource of that |
| 9 |
information. This also prevents information duplication and the need to |
| 10 |
maintain it. |
