I would like to see the nasl files go away in favor of xml based
files. Or at the very least condense groups of nasl into a single
file (e.g. gentoo_all.nasl, gentoo.xml would be my preference). There
are just too many files in that directory at this point.

If we had a database backend then the scripts could just exist in that
form (which makes having an xml file to represent the database in flat
file mode even more ideal) and would make our fork more functional
then Tenable.

ps. we should probably rename 'nasl' into something else. also have
we looked into oval?
