I meant ordinary users should rely on developers' defaults. If the user is advanced enough, he will be able to go his own way. Yes I prefer the package manager too, when it works and gives me what I want. But for the software that changes fast, like new languages / compilers, or juggernaut software like Kubernetes, packagers can't keep up and I do not expect them to.
