Has anyone considered a system that 'makes sense' for multiuser operation where different users want different alternative targets at once - or the same user wants alternative JVMs for different applications at the same time?
Are you suggesting that the alternatives system, in association with shell PATH variables isn't adequate enough for a user who knows enough about things such as sendmail alternatives to reconfigure to their hearts content? I'm pretty sure alternatives allows for per-user configurations, into per-user defined paths for executables and manpages and what not.
