1. As a developer, I couldn&#x27;t care less about making your life easier at the expense of making mine more difficult.<p>3. I couldn&#x27;t care less what you won&#x27;t package. Especially so if it&#x27;s due to prioritizing your own needs over everyone else&#x27;s.  Take it or leave it.<p>4. Distributions are already woefully inconsistent anyway. If you&#x27;re going to package something, the entire burden is on you.<p>Distributions have had too much influence over upstream projects for way too long. Thank god people are finally starting to reject their diva-like, our-way-or-the-highway attitudes. I have been a package maintainer for both Fedora and Debian, and frankly, for things outside of the core OS&#x2F;libs&#x2F;compilers&#x2F;tools, using deb&#x2F;rpm packaging is very, very overrated. Likewise for dynamic linking.
