Updating packages 'randomly' from 3rd party > sources is inherently against this. Well I presume pypi goes a long way to offering this... I've used easy_install a few hundred times manually now and I've noticed some incorrect outcomes. For example, downloading a package marked debian into my windows system... and wondering why it didn't work.... for most packages... it seems to work quite well though.. I think the issue is really that if we can do tests and count test results.. we'll probably get a lot further than we have in the past. We seem to be at the 85% mark... next stop should be 95% or at least some known and measurable number... I'm fully agreeing it can get better...
