Yes, that would be more flexible for such system. We only have to make sure
that constant flow of changes won't turn into a mess. Of course, some
information about version is always useful for management purposes. I am
only wondering how to manage such scheme where different parts of system can
be upgraded independently. By the way, will Wintermute use DEB packages for
software managing internals or should we design something different
(possibly still based on packages)?
