Maintaining a virtual with a massive list of || ( ) conditions is so so painful, especially considering their nature being they're communicating information thats better communicated in the inverse. ie: every time there is a new iteration of Foo, one must iterate all the virtuals that relate to it, and vet their need to be updated, and every single update you do is just something thats easy to get wrong, when it always seems to make so much more sense to say "X provides Y", especially in the case where X provides a very large list of Y ( virtual/perl-* is a maintenance nightmare ) -- Kent <http://kent-fredric.fox.geek.nz>
