It's not a case of whether anyone here wants to go down that road or
not, because we are already there.
There is a reason that the Atomic / CoreOS idea combined with Docker
is gaining traction, and it is because it deals with the reality of
dealing with software whose dependencies don't work in the traditional
distribution world
so i don't live in the real world?
there are just two pieces of software on my machines not from the fedora
rpm repos and i am fure sure a heavy user doing a ton of things you
hardly find somebody doing them all in one person
it's simple: crap which "dependencies don't work in the traditional
distribution world" was not useda nd will not be used and i talk for
around 800 customers uing our servcies based on Fedora

that's it - AND NO - there is no business try to pack every php thing as
RPM because - as example wordpress - who the hell gains anything with a
package when you have 10, 100, 200 users with their webspace and just a
single location - that works for things like phpMyAdmin with a simple
authentication against the database server but not for virtual webspaces
- but nobody right in his mind expects that to work with RPM and/or
distribution packages
AND NO - don't tell me "the world now works that way everywhere" - i
here the same bullshit "anybody is using mobile devices" for years now
and i can't hear it any longer - not as main device for serious things
and that won't change
