> never heard anything like that in my life.

Just yesterday I was whipping a team because they built their own version of Apache (for dubious reasons) and broke the patch management system.

To quote myself "why the fuck didn't you use the distribution packaged version?? Now go and fix that right now, it is your problem"

I think it pretty much covers the case.

Yes, and you don't have to pay to use a packaged distribution of Apache free of adware.

What adware? In which packages? What kind of payment are you talking about? Redhat?

Have you ever maintained a bunch (100 to a few thousand) machines where everyone builds his stuff from scratch according to their under the shower visions ? I have and now I will hit the ones who step one nanometer outside the only true and god provided package, that is straight from the distribution.

And yes - it does cover the case of you NEVER seeing that. Now you have seen.
