Sorry, as someone who used to maintain some 600 servers for a major

can't figure out an easy way to build and distribute your own packages
in an automated fashion, you are putting yourself at the mercy of your
distribution provider's capabilities and competence, which has been
shown time and again to be severely lacking in multiple areas.

I can figure it, but that was not my point. The point is that in a lot of situations people prefer to be at the mercy of a distribution provider and less dependent from a skilled sysadmin (or an external consultant) because this would cost them less on update management.

When you have strong budget limits (both in money or skills you can use) inferior solution are willingly chosen because they cost less or have less resource requirements. What I cannot agree is calling this kind of choice incompetence.
