Well yeah, that would be good. I was just starting with the
annoyance of zillions of teeny little non-standard files.
Being 100% compatible seems reasonable. Sugar can
ignore the things that don't apply, and make use of extra
items that might be provided. This would ease the
maintenance burden on software developers who want
to target both Sugar and non-Sugar environments.
The easier the porting, the more it will happen.
