Love this, sorry about the hate brigade from HN. Anecdotally, it seems to be getting worse lately...

To start, at Zapier, we and our customers have a huge need for something like this for any install of open source software with no API or crazy REST APIs. You should get in contact with us. Being the REST API for standard OS packages is something you should do yesterday. :-)

The credential thing is something we fight as well, but people in pain of a solution won't freak out too much, especially since they can just modify the access control to only expose the critical bits.

All-in-all, big fan. I like it.

Maybe the comments have changed since you wrote this but I see very little hate amongst the comments - only 1 could be deemed uncivil to my eyes.

[and I know I'm guilty of this at this precise moment but not sure if leading with a meta-comment is especially constructive in itself. If you don't like the tone, then lead by example]
