- Add SVN rev of source tree to pkg metadata (or equivalent, plus indicate if the tree has been monified similarly to uname(1))
- RDBMS-backed web application to collect file checksums from every official package and allow users to verify files on-line.
- Using pkgdb as an IDS?
- Base System: meta-packages
