Whenever you guys bring the argument of convenience to make a package native, I imagine that RedHat, Novell and company did the same with half of GNOME packages, and I had to look at Fedora and SuSE's pages checking for updates, report bugs in their bugzillas, look if a new upstream version only changed the spec file or also the code, and I want to cry myself to sleep.
