What reason does the QA Project have to disallow such thing? Is it just |
| 9 |
so that package-specific info does not concentrate in one huge file? Or |
| 10 |
is it the danger that the meaning of package-specific flags would drift |
| 11 |
too far from the global flag's meaning and lead to confusion? |
| 12 |
If it's the first, then metadata.xml seems like a good place. If the |
| 13 |
latter, then it wouldn't make much sense to approve the syntax and then |
| 14 |
disallowing it by QA :) |

Technically, I think linking to blogs, especially outside of g.o domain |
| 19 |
is not the best thing durability-wise :) |
