yes, 12 years of expirience, 23 dist-upgrades without reinstall and
still clean machines as if they would have been installed from scratch
prove me right

lol - the instalaltion target of /usr is not set in stone! you can still
have the outcome of your package into your hoemdir and copy it by hand

but when you can't make security updates you are anyways not someone who
should install software - admins really love funny guys throwing
binaries here and there which never face any update unless they break

that was as friendly as possible, when i want to insult you you will
recognize it

installing devel-packages and compilers on production machines is simply
dumb
