do what you believe and let us look where you end in 5-6 years after doing a couple of updates with "./configure && make && make install) it IS DIRTY because it does NOT remove obsoleted files and yes i have seen environemnets where as example mysql did not compile any longer as long all pieces of the old version were not deleted manually working on a modern OS beside the apckage-managment is just silly you have no clear dependencies, you have no migration-path, you have no clean rollback - you are doing a dirty job working so but yes, you can, do if you think it is good enough for you for the majority of advanced users it is not and in a prodessional environment it is simply unacceptable
