You obviously have no major experience with relinking or scriptable package installation. I imagine this is because you have not discovered the problems associated with rpm package management. Stay with your RPM's and be happy. All of the points above are understandable by any Linux techie who has dealt with system management issues, packaging, and package management. They are also valid points, which indicate the weaknesses in all the current package management systems.
