@rysiek There's a flavour of argument over packaging systems and formats which runs:
- X package format is difficult for software developers to use.
- Y package format is easy for software developers to use.
- Therefore Y package format is better than X.
What's not realised is that the fundamental value and benefit to package management is to systems administrators / owners / users, and integrated distributions of packages. And that the major costs of operation and maintenance are not installation, but *operations and maintenance.
"Easy for sofware developers" typically translates to "encourages sloppy and difficult-to-maintain processes and practices". Not only this, but by lowering up-front costs at the expense of long-term costs, the practice further encourages poor practices (from an O&M perspective), and puts well-behaved software at a disadvantage.
See the Debian Project's explicit focus on user benefit, a long-term value benefit.
This is a Jevons Paradox / Gresham's Law crowding out of well-behaved software and a race-to-the-bottom of poor long-term O&M behaviour.
