Indeed for a private desktop user (mono-user home station if you like) it is
a real pin in the A.. to have to make a complete reinstall...I mean, when
you have to recompile all the apps you didn't find in the the distro (or
that were not working ;)) or make a complete backup of your files and the
sources as well...A private user may not be a system administrator (or may
not want to become one or to act as one in is every day life...)..A private
system is most of the time highly customized. Now we're coming back to the
main issue : what is the market segment ? Private users or net admins in
enterprise? Obviously, priorities are not the same for them. We are back to
the bug fixing priority again...
Just some thoughts...
