I believe then there needs to be some funding to support he's work then, 
since I remember he said,
he's supporters , should be able to support him financially.
And there were very little support as it is displayed in he's text files 
about he's distro.
Maybe also it could be thought of coming back for him to OI mailing lists.

Only question is if "entire" locks to consolidations and consolidations 
are not there,
there entire would lock to many packages then instead. (so that updating 
"entire" gives exact state of packages for it).

Thanks, I appreciate this words from you //, different needs could be 
met under the same roof, if human resources we all posses are used in 
the right direction.
