However, it's probably not the best possible package management system out of the set of all possible package management systems, in the same way that socio-capitalist democracies are not the best possible political systems out of the set of all possible political systems. As such, it's great to have alternatives and people trying different ways of doing things so that the software can continue to evolve. In short, it's easy to remember root's password. It's also easier to distribute your software using 0install.net than it is to get it into Debian[1]. Best, Chris. 1.
