They are all also binary distributions and have complete control over
the content they decide to include in their systems. They also only
have to spend developer mindshare on exactly one version of each
application per release. This is quite a bit easier than the multitudes
of versions we have of some applications in the portage tree. I tend to
agree that this is a waste of time that could be better spent elsewhere,
at least in its current implementation.
