Oh no. Far from that, I do expect our number of users to grow very rapidly.
But I mean, seriously, it isn't that difficult for 'human beings' to add or
remove packages if they have the *right* package name. If they're already

Also, we could as you said provide quick tutorials, but most of all, it
would leave some room for true improvements and *choice* for each user to
build on his own liking and experience.
