Looks like the article was written by someone who is a debian fan....
Let's face it.. .DEB and .RPM are only packaging systems.. both have 
their advantages and problems..
And usually the debian fans like to hit RH for its decisions (like 
backporting NPTL to 2.4 kernels) , saying that this hurts 
compatibility... Yes , it hurts compatibility if the software you're 
using is 2 years old (like the ones available in debian "stable") and 
you try to make it work on a system which has everything updated....

just my $0.02...
