more skills than most people have,
Again, I have a perfect counter example. I know an openSUSE packager from the community who new next to nothing but still started to package software. Guess what? He's learned a lot among the way.

by laying off the very employees needed to provide proper support of not only this program/script but of many others of importance.
Guess what? If it hadn't been for me checkinstall would have never been included and I'm the only one who tried to maintain it all these years.
If the OBS ever becomes simple enough to compete with checkinstall, maybe it would be a viable replacement.
This is so riddiculous it's almost funny again. What you want is instant packaging and that's not going to happen anytime in the forseeable future. For this is definitely EOD (end of discussion).
