The drawback of it (and similar systems which originate from mainline
distros) is that they're limited to relatively "large" devices and
tend to be challenged by the fact that the toolsets originally hadn't
be designed for that purpose. On the other hand, they heavily benefit
from the large amount of already ported packages.
