Some useful things that are currently difficult become a lot easier to |
| 11 |
implement with GLEP 55. Per-package eclasses, for example, are easy if |
| 12 |
you don't have to care about the upgrade path, as is replacing |
| 13 |
versionator with a package manager internal. The complexity for both of |
| 14 |
those is in the upgrade path, not the implementation. |
