+Indeed. Last example was ganglias which was broken on mdv bs b/c
+it seems it was installed as a tarball instead as a package and got
+broken when someone cleaned up some deps which rpm couldn't
+know were needed by not packaged stuff

+</I>&gt;<i> Well, if creating a package is just a single command ( as would be a
+</I>&gt;<i> upgrade to the production server ), I do not think it will be much of a
+</I>&gt;<i> problem. The only issue is to find someone skilled enough to create a
+</I>&gt;<i> shell script for that and I do not really think that it will be a big

+</I>&gt;<i> eager to help, it would be quite weird to have no one able to do it in
+</I>&gt;<i> time.
+</I>
+What's more, MDV example shows that we should go for the simpler
+usage, aka using packaged web apps that got security updates.
+Just look at kenobi that hosts a web server and was running for years
+an outdated distro
+with no more updates, where nobody cared that web apps got broken, and the like.
