Never mind bug reports, half the time they won't accept patches! I've 
had quite few PRs that tried to fix build issues rejected because "your 
issue wouldn't even be a problem if you built it our bundled way".

Most of them. A handful I don't any more at all besides having them on a 
machine, a few my usage is intermittent, but yes for the most part the 
things I package are things I actually care about. As a rule I don't use 
*any* software if it can't be installed an managed as a system package. 
I have everything from long running machines (Arch boxes updated for > 
10 years) to many ephemeral virtual systems. I can't mess around with 
installing software manually and then either not being able to match it 
elsewhere or forgetting what I did or having it leave crud around on my 
system.

Your punishment should you choose to accept: use only emacs for the next 
<M-d> days.
