> OS administrators want a maintainable, supportable system that minimises the number of security vulnerabilities they're exposed to and packages software in a consistent fashion.

I am the administrator of the machines I use. I am also the user of the machines I use. I care far, far more about my experience as a user than I do as an administrator. The less administrating I have to do the better. As the administrator of my array of personal computers what I want is for everything to work, and to stay working, and for new things never, ever, under any circumstances to break old things.

As a user of the machines I use, I value consistency. I don't want to have to hunt down documentation in weird and wonderful places, I want to go to one spot and have it there.
