For goals, though, the external packages being referenced are all of the integrated components from other development projects, outlined in FAQ 1.8. The goal is minimal change, though many of these integrated components have significant enhancements. Examples: GCC (ProPolice), Apache (default chrooting, priv revocation), BIND (chroot operation), lynx (https). The goal is minimal modification. However, even when there are major enhancements, the overriding goal is to allow the basic configuration files to be imported from similar systems without change -- an operational similarity, to minimize admin difficulties.
