I cannot agree with this enough. I help package the container tools for openSUSE and SLE (I'm also an upstream maintainer of one of the tools as well, so I see both sides of the picture). But I personally am against ISVs making packages (especially "universal" ones) -- if they want to provide a container deployment method then provide the Dockerfile so people can build and curate it themselves. It's really frustrating when upstream turns around and says "actually, we provide packages -- not you". In fact, we've had cases where a certain project suggested that a reasonable compromise would be that we change the name of the package in our distribution to "reduce confusion to users". Wat. However, I do understand their point somewhat. If you have users pinging your issue tracker and they're using distro-supplied packages, then you are getting a lot of noise. But the right way of reporting bugs is to complain to your distribution (we actually live and breathe the distro you're using!) and I feel like upstream projects should make this communication model more clear rather than complaining to distros about users submitting bugs in the wrong place. EDIT: Thanks for the SUSE shoutout! OBS is pretty cool and the people developing it are pretty cool people too.
