No, it just means that I've never created a "sister project" that I would never 
want to use 
upon a different computer than the one upon which it was built.  I assume that 
if I make a 
library, I might want to share it and if I want to share it, I need to publish 
it somewhere (even 
to the same machine until I push it somewhere else).   I didn't always assume 
that, but 
personal usage pushed me to do that.

_My_ use cases aren't _your_ use cases and just because I can't see a reason to 
do *X* 
doesn't mean that no other humans can see a reason to do *X*.

I have 5 computers (well, 4 and one VM) within 6 feet of me as I write this;  
if I've written a 
library that I find useful, I'd like it to be available on other machines in my 
network without 
having those machines recompile that library from scratch.  That's why one of 
those 
computers is running a Nexus server to serve such libraries to any other 
machines that are 
running in my local network.


Just because I do things a certain way does not make that way "best", "optimal" 
or even 
"sane".
