That's a wrong assumption. Getting development & production as close as possible must be the goal. What good is it to have a newer development version that is bug-fixed, but then on production things fall to pieces? And while in theory package management is a nice thing, it falls flat on it's face because of package-dependencies that are mutually incompatible. Take for example matplotlib under debian that comes with a specific version of configobj - which might conflict with TG. Also, the release-cycles of a great many python-packages (including of course TG2 and it's vast amount of dependencies) are much shorter than the ones of the various linux distros. So either you are stuck with an horribly outdate version, or your existing software gets to run on a changed stack just because of the next sys-updated being run. No, thank you. I don't see any alternative from VEs. And they work great for us.
