Collecting together what are the conflicting principles
---------------------------------------------


1 Fail early Fail fast
2 Good error messages
3 No crap
4 A working system
   that is easily upgradable and keeps working
5 Package system permissive
     allows wide variation of package combinations
6 Package system strict
     Disallows error-prone situations/combinations
7 Easy on learners/noobs
