I agree. It's awesome, though not perfect. If the system makes mistakes,
or does something you do not want it to do (assuming you know better.:)),
it should be able to be override. Also I think there should be some
method for tweaking/informing the database if you install programs from
source tarballs. Otherwise you get into a Windows mentality thing where
the system always knows better than you -and we all know how much we like
Windows :(
