I guess my position on software packaging is that I resent being expected to do it myself, I don't believe in having a single package repository for all freedesktops. While its silly to have so many package managers, the proprietary world shows all the expectations placed on a centralized repository leaves you with no right actions to take.
So while I don't object to FlatPak, I do object to some of its marketting. And I do appreciate packagers reducing how much I've heaped on my plate!
