This is a huge deal. Right now it's an absolute bear to package software for linux. It's almost too cumbersome to even bother because even after you figure it all out there is an endless vetting process that is different for every distro. It's purposely designed to be like hard freshman classes in order to weed people out. The pain of package management (using apt, yum), pain of software distribution (builing DEBs, RPMs and setting up a distribution point) is especially apparent when juxtaposed to packaging software for and using homebrew on my mac. When we finally get distributions that use this as their main package manager we will have overcome a huge barrier for getting people involved with developing and distributing software on linux. The ripple effect of this is enormous. We need more people involved in this process. Collaboration here is many times better than a lone maintainer toiling away.
