Without being a developer myself I agree to Colin. The Mageia build
system took time and sweat to be built up to a point where all people
involved know their way with it. It has no annoying flaws (as far as I
can tell from reading this list) nor is it obsolete like some
unmaintained software package.

Coming from this I think there has to be some very good and
irresistable reasons to switch to another system, especially when most
of the people would have to go back to point 1 to start to work with
it. Better reasons than "all my friends have it".
