... Note that if the KGS really wants to be a KGS (literally "known good", it's a matter of semantics, not of technology):
- An invariant must be met that only one version of each package should be present in the index.
- The set is frozen (no packages will be added to or removed from or changed).
I do not think this is correct: The assumption that something is "known good" can prove to be an error. As soon as this happens, the index is no longer "known good". As a consequence, it can (and should) be changed. -- Dieter
