By and large, I think the community already has. dpkg is the clear winner, with the most widely used distributions (Mint, Ubuntu and Debian) all using it. RPM isn't dead by any means, but I think its continued existence is merely an accident of history at this point. As more and more people and organizations migrate away from Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS and openSUSE/SUSE Linux, I think we'll see its relevance and importance drop off significantly.

Do you have any sources for "As more and more people and organizations migrate away from Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS and openSUSE/SUSE Linux"? I would like to see one standard to win, but in my environment I do not see big companies going away from RedHat or SUSE. So I am curious to see if there is some trend building up.
