It's because the mainline bastards upstream decided to simplify the radeon

I think it would be a good thing and that the threats are real but I'm no

I too like locate (when the file I'm looking for isn't brand spanking new).
Unlike other tools like find(1), locate uses a previously created database to
perform the search, allowing queries to execute much faster. This database is
updated periodically from cron.

The driver may be open source but the firmware which is required for the

One potential problem with that setup is different distros use different
versions of packages. They might have difficulties reading the config files
from each others.
Probably not a big problem but something to keep in mind in case of trouble.
I guess the root problem here is the packages themselves. I don't think there
really is a problem though. Some packages are intuitive to use, e.g.
graphical in nature and insert a menu item when installed. The others one
just has to figure out how to use.
