> The Debian approach of putting everything into one system and only having one version of each dependency is not feasible for a huge international community of people that develop together but never meet. I find this to be overbroad and incorrect in the larger case. I want one version that has been reasonably tested for everything but the parts I'm developing or working with. Having just one version for everyone generally means it's probably going to work, and maybe even has been tested. For my own stuff, I am happy to manage the dependencies myself, but moving away from the debian approach harms the system in general.
