My point (and you know it but play the devil advocate if this is fun
for you) is that the mid-term solution is to stop to rely on category
conventions and have a real object as package entities.
Goran about your static script: what is the difference between a static
script and a bundle of package?
For example
SteApp1.2
is composed of packages
MW3.2
TurtleEnvironment10.3
....
So is a script a separate entity, is it a composite? why and what are
the pros and cons?
I'm a bit afraid to have yet another entity: package, SMpackage,
Script...
