Uhm, OK. I did not intend to whine about the free software
development model. My point was (intended to be) that user-level
wrappers around diff & co. muck around with the archive format and are
therefore IMO a serious threat to archive interoperability. Will I be
able to merge between archives with different changeset formats
without too much headache? Will I have to download by hand,
eyeball-treat and install an idiosyncratic wrapper script each time I
register a new archive? I think encouraging diversity in this case is
not such a good idea.
