No. The reason is that many packages are in DVS format and would only
install using simple filein without DVS. We chose to include it.

Well, you do if you want "controlled" upgrades.

Why is it marked as beta then? :-)

And what about the issue Andreas brought up nicely summarized by Ned?
(DVS can handle .st fileins pretty nice. Monticello can not. Right?)

And someone needs to write an SMMCInstaller too.

Btw, I have gotten a rewrite of SMDVSInstaller from Ned - haven't had
the time to look closely. Just so you know SMDVSInstaller is actually
broken right now - it simply doesn't kick in.
