Design cleanup

Having partially read the first chapter of the excellent The Art of Unix Programming, by Eric S. Raymond, I've been thinking more about the design of mod-boot in terms of simplicity. One portion that called attention to itself was the blockList concept that I explored in an earlier post. It's an interesting concept I think, but it adds a lot of code that 99% of the time will only end up taking up more memory. It would be simpler and in most cases faster just to use either a standard array or a GArray or something.

Also, I've been thinking about the concept that if a program doesn't have anything helpful to say, it should just shut up. I'll have to work on this aspect, but it'll have to give what the user and other programs need; nothing more, nothing less (Good: Fedora. Bad: Debian. Worse: Slackware).

There's other matters I shall have to look in to as well to simplify the project.
