Announcing printerd

I don't understand that either. The announcement just has a list of buzzwords but doesn't explain to me the rationale behind this development or how it'll integrate with the system. I'm not sure how this is different from, improves upon or integrates with CUPS which is by far the most widely deployed and most supported printing environment (except for Windows native drivers but that has a non-portable design anyway).

It'd be useful to see a longer form article of the whys and wherefores by the authors of this software instead of the wild and misinformed speculation that is likely to occur given the lack of information.
