- Nice! But you made a mistake of using smallcaps-only on the repository. MacOSX file systems will complain and all sorts of weirdness can happen.by JensRantil

There is advantage to keeping to "classic" tooling especially if you are not in an "I" context but in a "team" context. How large is the team that is going to use and maintain this custom tooling?
