Scrub snark

It's clear he holds a dim view of Packman; it's also clear that this
view is informed by his own packaging experience, the standards he has
for the craft, and Packman allegedly failing to meet that standard.

So cut the dude some slack.  I don't see myself using Flatpaks over
Packman; OT1H the release model makes sense to me, as someone who
likes the latest-and-greatest straight from upstream, OTOH

- latest-and-greatest is why I use a rolling release, Flatpak brings
nothing new there;
- having to pick-and-choose apps which need codec-smuggling is a
bother;
- containerized apps break in subtle ways precisely because of the
security benefits containers bring: too many holes to punch in order
to integrate smoothly with the rest of the desktop.

So just nod and move on.
