I'm not expecting anything overnight, neither next week/month. Having
worked on similar system for PHP, I very well know how hard and time
consuming it is to define such standards and get it accepted, let
alone the implementation of the tools to help developers to package
their applications. That's why I suggest to focus on this critical and
complex part, the packaging and distribution.
