+Without being a developer myself I agree to Colin. The Mageia build
+system took time and sweat to be built up to a point where all people
+involved know their way with it. It has no annoying flaws (as far as I
+can tell from reading this list) nor is it obsolete like some
+unmaintained software package.
+
+Coming from this I think there has to be some very good and
+irresistable reasons to switch to another system, especially when most
+of the people would have to go back to point 1 to start to work with
+it. Better reasons than "all my friends have it".
