Advantages:
- Do not depend on one or more managers to install something.
- More easy admin packages for end-users
- In desktops or window managers is more practical to use a "software
center" on another environment managers and many bookstores such as
Openbox, wmii, Fluxbox....

NOTE: openSUSE has got YaST (good!) withouth remove to Ark. Is no excuse to
not create it if you follow the upstream projects like GNOME or KDE.

Disadvantages
- Much time and effort
- Search people interested in doing it
