Were it to happen, of course, that would be great. But there is no evidence
of this actually happening.

I'm not sure in what way a change to a directory path undermines opencsw.

I am sure that if both organisations plough on regardless using /opt/csw it
will undermine both parties -- it clearly isn't in the best interests of end
users.

And now I come to think of it, the dependency declarations are also going to
be impossible to reliably resolve if two organisations produce software
called CSWfoo, CSWbar...
