I don't know if that's true. Many popular distributions provide undesirably
out-of-date versions of common tools and require users to use other means
to install them. But both of our assertions are valueless without data, so
it may not be worth discussing.

I would have thought users would be more likely to reach for the pre-built
versions of Go, but again, we need data.

Fair enough, I admit I don't know a lot about the Mac sphere.

I was referring to the problem of security, not the problem of
configuration variables. Certainly some of the security concerns with this
project can be addressed without solving the halting problem.
