I do not like Unix's fossilization
I like Unix, but I'm not entirely happy with the modern world of Unix,and not for the reason you might expect. Instead of disliking thechanges from the old days, I find it distressing to see Unix slowlyfossilize.
Unix should be picking up new good ideas. It should be adopting betterways of writing shell scripts, adding more little programs,and all of that. Yes, things like seq and (GNU) stat and (GNU) date and time are not in the Posix specification

From a friend's blog post on Avatar :
People applauded at the end of the film, which I found a bit disturbing. Visually, it was awesome. But we just saw humanity slaughtered on an alien planet. We just saw the greed of humanity at its worst. We just saw a terrible spirituality exalted as ideal. And, finally, we just saw the remnant of the humans sent back “to their dying planet,” and we cheered.
No wonder people feel depressed after stepping out

Different visions of what packaging systems are for
I think I should write down one of my background views on what packagingsystems are for, and what jobs they do, because there are competing (orsomewhat clashing) visions about what is within their scope.
One view is that the job of a packaging system is more or less confinedto properly installing, removing, and upgrading packages. This need notexclude things like apt-get ; if you take a broad view of 'installingpackages', this can easily include fetching packages and dependenciesover the Internet.
