It is not stupid since the packege manager should be
unifide not the whole distro. You could install a *.deb on
fedora and a *.rpm on debian. Then we could stick to one
of the two formats and live with out dep hell. The system
layout should be the same for all Distro's
Eg.
/etc for config files
/boot vmlinuz-2.x.xx and other files for booting.
And so on.
Yes Debian will still be solid
Yes suse will still have yast2 and outh tools
Yes Gentoo will still be source based.
And yes Fedora will still have that clean bluecurve.
