it takes no more than a few minutes to write a perl script to handle all.
and you can not claim 95% of anything in real world, even if so, there
is no difference to automated tools, than yum or apt, they can do the
same thing and as every machine is identical, if work on dev box,
there is no way it not work on production.

its simple, if it is not work on rpm, erase rpm and use source.

it is silly and time waste to try log bug problem with version not
supported in years
