      Yeah, and I love it. However, after knowing the deb and the rpm worlds for the 20 years I’ve been using Linux, I believe it is too late for these two sides to unite and work together.

        Even without talking about different dot extension, there are multiple incompatible repo with the same ones. Take RHEL vs SuSE vs Fedora, or Ubuntu vs Debian
