Yep. I am torn here too. rpms get us a lot, but are also inflexable in
other ways. :)
Let me make an argument against rpms here.
Ansible doesn't require anything on the local system to run a playbook.
That's one of its virtues.
For a user if we just use a git repo then the user doesn't have to
modify their system in order to use the tools to change their system.
There is a certain amount of elegance in that not to mention just not
being annoying.
It also allows a user to take a recipe, fork, modify, improve etc and
test it without necessarily knowing anything about rpm... or being a
packager in the packager group etc. Having a fedora account etc...
