I think those "we" are about 5 years too late. Everybody is too used
to the RHEL/CentOS standard of "install from scratch", and if I install
from scratch, of course, I consider the competition.

As I understand this is "business 101" kind of stuff.

So why was this not taken care of years ago? (and where is "install on ZFS",
and where is MATE/KDE/Cinnamon, and where is all the "deprecated" drivers,
and where is the replacement for "deprecated" NIS,
and where is the "we take systemd bugs seriously"?).

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" as they say,
and we sense it and we vote with our feet.
