expecting users to read and do it themselves is certainly a path to destruction for many. while i could have written it in shell, i just did it in awk. i hope you're just overstating things when you say months, because FIXED:INCVS. we're going to need to extend the syntax anyways to allow for per-version-per-module arguments. unless openrc does that now ...
