Traditional packaging is not suitable for modern applications?
I feel the article is missing the point of distros. They are supposed to be fully self-contained integrated operating systems, not just container platforms.<p>Additionally, essentially vendoring full dependency trees for each application separately would massively increase the maintenance burden because instead of just maintaining one version of a library the distro will need to maintain n versions<p>&gt; Modern applications are inherently fragile.<p>There is nothing inherent in the fragility, it is self-inflicted problem of some applications.
