Which part is ridiculous? The fact that Dpkg, RPM, their peers, and infrastructure on top of all that (APT, up2date, Yum, BSD ports, Gentoo Portage, and so on)

Which part is ridiculous? The fact that Dpkg, RPM, their peers, and
infrastructure on top of all that (APT, up2date, Yum, BSD ports, Gentoo
Portage, and so on) existed for a long time before Homebrew, the fact that
people were constantly complaining about Homebrew breaking their installed
packages on update, the fact that it used to require /usr/local to be
user-owned, or the fact that it wasn't using (still isn't? I haven't checked)
cryptographic signatures for downloading software to install?
