Kynn,

How much homework have you done researching any other "alternatives" to the
package system?  I know of at least one...

In short, just about everybody here believes in packages. And repositories.
And package management.  And version control (at the package level). And
maybe byte compilation.  And associated documentation.  And unit tests.  And
continuous integration.

You don't have to -- that's cool.  Different strokes for different folks.

But if think you need something different you may just have to build that
yourself.

Cheers, Dirk
