1. Searching Universes is a pain 2. Editing Universe entries is a pain 3. Editing Universe entries takes several minutes for update to become available 4. Universes depends upon a server, there is no offline mechanism. 5. Finding what depends upon what is a pain, you have to manually search 6. If something doesn't work as advertised there is nothing you can do about it 7. If something doesn't work as advertised you have to manually search for all of the dependencies to build your own Installer script that you can customise to fix the problem 8. If something doesn't work as advertised you have to contact the administrator for that package and wait for them to fix it. If they are using a different image/universe to you it could be a long wait, because they will have to load up your image version to test it in. 9. Universes is/was non-trivial to discard from the image if you want to use it to build and discard it later. 10. You have to update Universes with every trivial change to your package, there is no way to say, give users the latest if they want it. 11.
