It didn't stop SQLite from taking off. Maybe, what is really  
necessary would be from someone to write a book. Or, a few ambitious  
some ones. Maybe it's all part of Cyber's ( the god of all things  
digital ) plan; so, women can break into the male-dominated tech  
writing market.

I've been thinking it could be great if in pkgsrc a user could make a  
sub package
for some time now.   It would be great, because then we all wouldn't  
have to imagine
all the possible notions of heresy, that could crop up, before we  
even imagine
sharing.  Which is different that wanting to share.  Something like,  
I just make a sub
directory inside of ./work/.  And, then grab all the files I need,  
put it in there, and then
all I have to remember is, cd .. && bmake subpbackage
# and then read error message, because lol I have to name the  
subpackage as arg2
.                                     FIN.
Naturally, it would query the user, in places.
