You're judging on mere intent. In the first place, this mess occurs
because the intricacy of standard installation and package installation
is complex, and well known by few. Let's stay positive, and be assure my
motives are not exempt of altruism... "It is not from the benevolence of
the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but
from their regard to their own interest", as said Adam Smith. The
question is to find out how to conciliate our own interest with Koha
public good.

Thanks.
