Parent article: Linux fragmenting at last?

You mean, if I'm developing a new app, and no distributor does (yet) include my package, my project is completely doomed?

Thanks, that's not what I have in mind thinking of an open software community.

In this case, I rather set up some box with a really old distro to compile binaries that are still working on newer systems, and distribute them as tarball or whatever.

And yes, I know what I'm talking about, I'm running build machines for the SeaMonkey project, that has just recently released its first stable version...
