I take issue with calling them wannabe developers. Especially as the number one way to tank a project at a job is to make yet another way to distribute it. Many companies would do well to have a package maintainer position.

>> I take issue with calling them wannabe developers. I did say "how many... ?" Certainly not all, but I once did a fresh Fedora install once, and the latest version of something didn't work. Not at all. I managed to do some searching, tracked down the root problem (in a dependency) and found a workaround, posted that to the IRC, and a while later the package was updated. The workaround was something like passing an option in the launcher - no "code" or rebuilding.
