It is when all the systems are built around deploying via RPM and the
systems are remote. Plus my memory says that "preferred form" of
distribution was not what we geeks would like it to be but something
more concrete. (We might like to say "point people to GIT" but it
really means tar ball archive of files"

Currently I don't know of anything depending on community and it has
mainly fallen down as a 80% solution needing that last 80% to get
done.
