Distribution packages are nice but: - they require different instructions for each platform: one for each distribution: it's not possible to give a one liner that will work for all supported OS/architecture combinations, - distributions are not all updated at the speed of upstream. Sometimes users do not want to wait several years to use a recently released feature.
