I must admit I am getting the same impression. While it's nice to
have options, I agree that it is getting out of hands. There is smart,
apt-get, FOUS, rug, yum, YOU and whathavenot.

Please let some sanity prevail here :)

It would be nice to have *one* functional, integrated and supported tool
to apply both updates and install packages from external repositories.

But it looks as if Zen/rug is supposed to take that role now, it just
isn't fully there yet...

Bye,
