Again: this is a decision the development team made. It's not because
it's free, it's because they chose one particular mode of development.
I'm not saying it's wrong, necessarily, but it drives a lot of people --
like me -- to look for alternatives. Right now, the system pretty much
works, despite the fact that I'm using and older version
(2.4.7-6Ubuntu3). The problem, for me, is that if I write to this list
with a problem, I'll be told no one can help me unless I rebuild from
scratch. So far, it's been easier to work around problems or look for
help in the Ubuntu forums.
