google and microsoft are like two of the biggest offenders when it comes to email, bullying smaller services. And yet every email sysadmin has to work to comply with google and MS rules.

@be Fanatical packaging systems (within reason) strongly assure well-behaved software.

Dependencies are managed. Configurations are preserved. Bugs are tracked and prioritised, including packaging bugs (which can be release-critical). Standards are imposed and enforced (notably for documentation).

Well-packaged software should, of course, be distrubutable by other packaging formats. That's a given. But to say that a packageing format or method can produce well-behaved packages is inverting causality and looking through the wrong end of the telescope.

Good packaging systems prevent and minimise suce effects. Bad software is exposed by virtue of the fact that it cannot comly with good packaging requirements.
