This is a nuisance for me as a CentOS admin as well. I absolutely dislike software that decides to just plop a big bag of crap in /opt. I don't want something administering it's own PostgreSQL or nginx instance, let those choices and the administration of these services up to system administrators and alternatively provide a quick setup tool for the less inclined. I work in a mostly .Net shop, but the couple Python+Flask apps I maintain and administer integrate with everything else the way I expect as a sysadmin. As a Linux guy I have scoffed at Windows shops for ages for the sin of "xcopy deploy" but omnibus packages are no better.
