Great, I'll get right on that.  Oh wait, there no indication of how.
Sure, we can just "change" the packaging system.  However, there's a
*lot* more to it than just waiving a magic wand or hacking a few lines
of code.  Someone would need to come up with system (including the
internal mechanics) that denotes how this could/should be done.

Simply having the source isn't a blanket panacea to the problem.
There's still the more than trivial problem of *how* it would be done.
