Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

I experienced it back in the early 2000s before Yum. I used CentOS recently and it really isn't as bad as it used to be.

I don't know how people find themselves in dependency hell nowadays. It takes an effort to break things.

I can believe this. If they hadn't improved, they wouldn't still be around, because it was truly awful.

But I can hold a grudge. And, honestly, I have no reason to try it again, so it costs me nothing to be petty about RPM.
