It is, I know it is, but frankly life is too short to screw around. I  
believe management calls this 'delegation'. Off-loading the crap onto  
someone else's plate :P Call me morally flawed, but frankly I can't be  
bothered handling all that crap, again as I said it's for the very  
reasons you outline. If it were easy I'd do it myself. It isn't so I  
can't be bothered, frankly. Well when I say its not easy, it seems to  
be in most Linux distros, it's when you get outside that that you seem  
to hit a vertical wall of crap. I only consider manual compiling if I  
absolutely cannot find it pre-comp for my OS.

I'm lazy, so sue me.
