Your entire position can be boiled down to a paraphrase of Henry Ford: "You can rewrite dpkg in any language you want, as long as it's C." You've made your point clear. You (and Marcus, to a large degree) have become completely sidetracked by arguing tiresome C++ pros and cons. But Marcus also grasps that He Who Writes the Code Makes the Rules. I'm sorry it offends your aesthetic that Aaron plans to reimplement dpkg in C++. But it is not your decision to make. The best support you can provide for your arguments is to redesign and reimplement the Debian packaging system yourself (or with people you recruit to the task). So get to work. If you reply to this message, do not be surprised if I don't to yours. -- G.
