I'm not saying that there should only be one, I'm all for choice, but having 4 or 5 early Bèta stage tools, and no mature versions, is a bloody pain.

If you ever find a piece of software that works "flawless, all the time" I would be very interested in it.
Let me rephrase that: robust enough so that I don't notice flaws on servers and with connections. A couple of days ago I reported about a problem between zypper and ftp.gwdg.de. Those are the problems that I don't want to know about; if there's a problem parsing /a/ file on /a/ server: *deal* with it instead of bombing out and passing the shreds to me. Theo -- Theo v.
