Anyone who thinks I have it right and houghi has it wrong (again),
raise your hand!!

You forgot 10.0. I stayed on it as long as I could because of the
borked package management in later versions.

I don't know what houghi thinks is fast, but compared to 10.0 the
current system is a joke. 10.0 wasn't great - still took more time than
using apt on my Debian sandbox at work, but it was tolerable. This
updating this/cleaning that etc. is nuts.

Not to mention quality control. I installed Timidity and while it
works, the pull down menus just display square boxes. The rpm was built
by some fellow in Japan, so I'm guessing the menus are in Japanese but I
don't have that language set enabled so just see squares.

I read the other day someone suggesting to use a DNS type system. That
makes a lot of sense to me. Heck, the RBLs use it to track countless
thousands of spam messages - surely it could easily handle a couple
thousand application versions...
