Well, I didn't say *everybody*, I was referring to newer users who might
actually do what we tell them to :-)
The problem is that there is a very high probability that anyone who
installs from an RPM will then install plugins directly. Given that, I
would question even packaging the base product as an RPM.
Then again, there's the concern about whether an RPM-provided package
may provide something a tarball does not, or vice-versa. For example,
the MDV Java RPMs play all sorts of games with /etc/alternatives and
don't (I think) set environment variables like JAVA_HOME. This means
that tarball installs of things like Ant need manual tweaking to work
correctly with an RPM-based JDK. The RPM-based Ant has wrapper scripts
which depend on the /etc/alternatives stuff and determine JAVA_HOME on
the fly.
