Hi,

The package embedds many 3rd party libs, and it is a nightmare to keep
working well in a distribution. It also has very common namespace
squatting, like xmlrpc, http, and such.

If you were to introduce this package again in the global-requirements,
I would vote -1 and convince the others to not accept it, as I don't
think it is maintainable at the distro level. So please don't attempt it! :)

Cheers,
