If an OS has no software management subsystem, it is not enterprise deployment material, and therefore has no business being used to power production; it really is that simple.

There are uses of software outside enterprise.

There certainly are uses outside of enterprise, but then it's not enterprise, is it?

If however such software is used for generating money, then suddenly, the exact same criteria as within enterprise applies, because as soon as the flow of money is jeopardized, that's production.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I'm saying that my original comment had nothing to do with enterprise. It may well be that operating systems without package management are unsuitable for enterprise. I personally think operating system without package management are unsuitable anywhere; my comment, however, was descriptive rather than prescriptive.
