New comment by Duncaen on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/39814#issuecomment-1273429882 Comment: I don't really see a strong reason to unify those templates and more reason to not change anything. - Additional build dependencies for smaller `base-*` packages. - Changing one of the `base-*` packages requiring an "update" for all. - More confusing to keep the order of dependencies right (important for example `gawk` being before any other dependency that pulls in the `awk` virtual package.
