Of course it doesn't scale... unless someone has figured out some magic
dust to make software bug free and always secure and always integrated,
there needs to be people supporting all those parallel installed things
and making sure they are secure/bugfixed/integrated. 

So, the barrier is then that if you need/want a compat package, you
must commit to maintaining it, or convince someone else to.
