I think you missed my point entirely about not standing up proprietary
packages as the primary reason. Hopefully the original poster got my
point.

I'm still waiting for someone to give me a comparison between the
LSB/Berlin API concept and what autopackage currently does. Is there
really a need for the LSB/Berlin API? Does it really do more than what
the autopackage roadmap encompasses? Just from a motivations point
of view, it seems to me that autopackage is meant to solve exactly the
same problem as the LSB/Berlin API. And if that is the case, and its
only implementation details that are different, then I think its
probably appropriate for the LSB/Berlin API supporters to do a
compare/constrast against the more mature autopackage concept so we
can get a better understanding of the detailed differences. Sadly,
such a comparison would need to use very small words, if I am to be
part of the target audience.
