I would say it still is about "building the car". I think this refers to
using dependencies where possible. Instead of writing our own functions
to compute in number fields, we wrap PARI's number field functionality.
What you do is to take only certain parts of the Sage car, change the
bodywork and then complain that the wheels no longer fit.
I find it ironic how hard sage makes it for other projects
to rely on it
You seem to think that Sage is actively making it hard for other
projects. I simply think that the way how Sage development is done is
fundamentally incompatible with what the distros want.
I think this sentence from Volker is completely on the spot:
-1 to delaying a Sage version for $DISTRO to catch up.
