you make a reasonable point, but i'd consider some of your examples as |
43 |
(ab|mis)use of subslots. their purpose is to track ABI changes so as |
44 |
to signal rebuilds. if they've been appropriated for other uses, then |
45 |
perhaps those libraries are doing it wrong ? i expect subslots to do |
46 |
one thing (what PMS describes/intends) and would be surprised to find |
47 |
out that some packages are doing something else. |
