We're not, honestly. But you do see some of the worst we can do on |
| 5 |
this list (which is why some people tend to ignore this list). Altho |
| 6 |
on the other hand, some of the best cooperation happens here too. |

So go use a binary distro. You're always welcome to come back when you |
| 13 |
find out that building from source and not bundling libs does have |
| 14 |
significant advantages. |

That is exactly what we are trying to do. But people (being human) |
| 22 |
don't always agree on how to do that, and which benefits have more |
| 23 |
priority. So sometimes there is a bit of rough and tumble before we |
| 24 |
get things sorted out. |
