Change 131543 by gcooper at shiina-ibook on 2007/12/24 21:19:53

	What's the purpose of thread-safety and performance on newer machines / RELENG_7 + with all of the scheduler improvements if pkg_install is still single-process and clumsy?
	
	Why not instead do stuff just once (file reads) as opposed to doing stuff multiple times?
	
	Why don't we have a search command?
	
	Why don't we have an upgrade command as opposed to doing upgrading via ports or 3rd party tools?
	
	Why aren't actions more modular and pluggable in a C framework as opposed to being single large globs of function definitions?
	
	Why memorize multiple commands when you can use one binary with respective commands?
	
	Many of these questions will be solved for the most part through the introduction of pkgman..
