Therefore any piece of Linux software.. whether it's drivers, games, or applications, absolutely must provide their own out-of-band solution for providing binaries if they expect Linux users to use it any time in the next six-eight months. Any distribution supported scheme is going to be distribution and release-specific.

You've convinced me. I really want to return to the 1980s. Spending days or weeks downloading, compiling, installing and resolving conflicts and version incompatibilities for every program or library I wanted to install was so much more fun that running apt-get.
