Yeah, I&apos;d just love you to poop files randomly into my filesystem, with no tracking, and a completely non-standard uninstall process (if I&apos;m lucky enough to have one at all).&lt;p&gt;We evolved package management for a reason - I know it&apos;s a pain to have to make a .deb, a .rpm and a .tar.gz - but is it really that much more work than making an entirely custom install script?</text></comment>
