I'm not asking an end-user to care about package management, he is.
He suggests that users should install new versions of software themselves instead of relying on managed packages.
Someone who absolutely has to have the latest and greatest is most likely an advanced user and still can just add another source to his package manager.
- pvg 17y agoRight, you know, just like current users of the popular desktop OS'es. They go, grab the latest and greatest and install it themselves, just like they usually do. And they care not a whit what 'package management is' nor what 'adding sources' means. He's saying having to care about package management is antithetical to the notion of 'ease of use'.
