I tried the packages and it seems to work well. There are some things
that I think need consideration when targeting at a system-wide
installation that all users can share
0.) Not all users will want to update their sites to new versions at the
same moment ;-)
1.) The site-wide installation requires the install tool to be
accessible for all sites when it is accessible for one site. Ok, well,
could be protected on http server level.
2.) Most systems that host for users that do not trust each other will
not allow the following of symlinks, only SymLinkIfOwnerMatch, which
spoils the idea of a system-wide installation.
I'm not clear on how to resolve these questions. I only know that the
problems apply to my situation ;-)
