The danger that I see is one that George brought up, although I didn't
exactly read this into the Ketchup article.
If people and companies start developing apps that somehow only work for
RH, that would be bad.
If companies and individuals only supply rpm files files directly,
that's not a big deal, because we'd always have a designated packager
for Debian to ensure that it was properly Debianized.
Has RH actually refused to use the LFSSTD? What is it about RH that an
app wouldn't be able to run on all Linux distros?
