C'est joli en tout cas ;-). Pas forcement au niveau du fond, mais au

You have two missing bits:
1. a nice create-autotooled-rpm-for-dummies environment
2. a deployment framework
You have only to look at koji to realise the technical basis for 2. is
It is not what koji looks like from the perspective of a fedora
contributor, but maybe once there is more doc it will appear more
clearly...
already there, and IIRC there are products on the market that do the
package as payload thing.
1. is harder and is in its infancy today. That's why package systems
with broken dependency engines sell and rpm/deb don't.
It is certainly something different from rpm/deb since it should be
doable as a user.
But if you don't get a package feed up people do manual
deployments,
slowly rot the cluster and make OS upgrades impossible. static is just a
way to partially hide the rot.
That is not the way I see the usefulness of static linked apps. They are
for immediate consumption in my use case.
