Umm... sorry if i caused confusion.
I just shortened red pill mode into RPM. I didn't say anything about the package format
The diffs between RPM and deb is a different story.

Redpill was more convenient, that should be enough to keep it in my opinion.
Hunting packages in red pill mode is truly stupid especially if you're not a developer and don't know what they do... most of them don't do anything but bricking since they're probably parts of a bigger project, that you as a user know nothing about.
I repeat, this is not a red pill thread!

This is not the solution to the "problem". The solution to the problem is improving App Man and the repo process. Support progressive policies and practice.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

It is so obvious that installing a package might damage your filesystem. But this is true regardless of the package coming from a repository or from your local file system. The decision to only allow packages from repositories does nothing for security.
I just shortened red pill mode into RPM. I didn't say anything about the package format
I don't mean to crush your hopes, I just can't help it
