If there's one thing MSB's hint *isn't*, it's proprietary. Full sources for everything are supplied. (Most of what the hint uses is already installed on your system.) Not that I'm saying the hint as-is should go into the book (and as has been said many, many times before in this discussion: *NOBODY* is saying that!), or even that parts of it should go into the book (I haven't decided what I think about that yet). Just that this particular reason not to put it in -- it being supposedly proprietary -- is wrong. (People have already also pointed out that this suggestion was *NOT* about a package manager. It was about people learning where files were getting put, which of them were being installed setuid root, etc., etc.)
