Wow, I guess you never had to touch a .tar.gz, or a binary-only thing like 
flash or nVidia...  or pull something from CVS and cook it to get a broken 
thing working... Welcome To The Real World, Neo, where not everything you 
need is packaged.

I'm happy when I can get on with my work with a minimum of detours into 
mysteries.  If a later RPM with a real .so.3 wants to crap on my symlink I'm 
happy.
