Improve in what way? This puts any design change off the table forever. I don't see anything wrong with a rethink, as long as it's motivated. Maybe the motivation has not been well-stated - but maybe you haven't made it any clearer that dpkg or rpm are the optimal package managers (barring a few little 'improvement' patches here or there). Just blasting the project in the most generic terms is avoiding the necessary thinking about what the goals should be and what are good ways of achieving them.
