After reading this article and the long list of problems
the Flatpak project is facing, I can’t really agree
that “Flatpak is doing great”. Apparently, Flatpak is
in maintenance mode, while major problems remain untouched,
because nobody is working on the big-ticket items anymore. This
seems like a big problem for a project that’s still facing
a myriad of major issues.

Wasn't Flatpak created by Red Hat, or maybe Red Hat put
a lot or resources into to it ?  If so and since RHEL is
now owned by IBM, no surprise here.  IBM will not spend
money on anything that they believe will not benefit IBM
by 50x the amount spent :)

I guess my avoidance of these *packs Linux has is
conformation yet again simple is better.
