Except for stuff like scanners.
I doubt my mother would have been able to extract the firmware-binary
blob for her scanner from some installer-cd (or even from a windows-
installer).
Devs in the OSS-world seem too busy to invent yet another desktop, or
sound-architecture or image-viewer (just count how many image-viewers
there are on freshmeat - they're only beaten by half-assed GUIs for
iptables).
