I suppose working toward a linux binary standard that would actually 
make it possible for 3rd parties to build programs that install and run 
as expected on different distributions is too much to ask...  As, 
obviously, is asking for interface stability for more than a week at a 
time so 3rd parties could specifically target the distribution's 
nonstandard quirks in a useful way.
