(Cross posting to development) There was criticism about weights in the past (I think it was Ber?) However, I think the lack of an interface to manipulate the underlying data structure was the main objection to this. Remember that a mechanism similar to weights is used in UNIX/Linux init scripts (each daemon is given a 3 digit number and they are started in order). Now that we have an interface that can manipulate the weights, perhaps the main criticism is moot. This is similar to update-rc.d in Debian/Ubuntu. But perhaps we will move to a before/after scheme as hinted to (Adrian? Vlado?)
