so this is the official announcment that the vanilla-style-do-it-yourself for 
professional engineers and manual readers is no more, and that in future 
there will be rather debian-style-out-of-the-box solutions for  those who 
want it to "just work" ?
I'm fine with that new way. I'm going to look for a different distro then 
instead of having to unpatch more and more packages. I just would like to 
have a clear signal finally. The back and forth between those different 
styles is really painfull for somone who has to actually maintain a few 
dozens of machines. 
I guess you can run your systems easy and secure with the debian style, but 
you have to have a different kind of personality then me. 
thanks
