LOL. That may be true, but coming from a primarily C++ and Java background where 
that sort of thing doesn't really exist (as far as I know anyway), I confess 
that I don't see much need for that sort of thing. I don't necessarily have any 
problem with it existing, but it's fine with me if it doesn't, and I've never 
quite understood the folks who belate its lack.

Honestly, package management of any kind is the kind of thing I expect my OS to 
do.
