Keen: The case against upstream packaging
Arch maintainer Kyle Keen speaks out against direct
delivery of software by upstream projects. "Maintainers' greatest
power is the ability to outright say 'This is not good enough for our
users' and consequently punish an ISV by either patching out the offensive
part or in extreme cases removing the software from the repositories. ISVs
know this and so don't act out. After 20 years of enforced good behavior
this has lead to the idea of ISVs as 'the benevolent upstream developer.'
This is why Linux doesn't have spyware, doesn't come with browser toolbars,
doesn't bundle limited trials, doesn't nag you to purchase and doesn't
pummel you with advertising."
