The only thing I don't like about stow is that I can't move files around easily. If I decide to move some files around within modules, I have to unstow, then move them, the stow again. If I forget then it leaves dangling symlinks

I am not sure what you're trying to say here. I agree that the existing situation is the most likely one. So what? I am simply saying that even though it is the "obvious thing", it is unfair and unkind. Those two things are c

I care! It is unnecessary complexity, and frankly ugly. If you can avoid repetition, then you should, even if the reason is not obvious. To give you a concrete example, consider caching (or, equivalently, compiling) web pages. Maybe you hav

I get that people are hung up on the "licensing" clause, but for me it is not the most egregious part. They say elsewhere, > Mozilla can suspend or end anyone’s access to Firefox at any time for any reason, including if Mozilla
