   Once libmisc is renamed and made a public library, our changes
   can be pushed back to their original sources.  I'm currently working
   on pamifying apps for Red Hat Linux, and after our changes get
   significant testing, I intend to offer our patches to the upstream
   maintainers of each package.  That will probably be after our
   next beta test.

   Once we've done that, I hope that we can remove most, if not all,
   apps from the Linux-PAM tarball, and replace them with pointers to
   pamified applications and patches to applications whose maintainers
   have not accepted pamification patches.  Even if we do include
   full applications, we should also include the patches (that's how
   we do Red Hat source packages, and it works well, especially when
   upstream maintainers release new versions of things).

   Sound reasonable?

Sounds perfect!
