And somehow Debian and Ubuntu and ... do well it with real depends...

Well, Ubuntu and Debian are both dead slow on package management, and
the main reason for that is a fancy dependencies resolving system.

Still, if you add some 3rd party repos to Debian or Ubuntu that try to
replace some essential system packages with forked or newer versions,
then I'm not sure if a OS upgrade would went well, or break some
things, minor or major.
Have you ever tried installing GNOME shell on Ubuntu back when GNOME 3
was released? I found it was best to reinstall Ubuntu after this
experiment.

And the last thing you'd want to have as a phone vendor is bricking
user's phones on upgrades. You have to be careful what kind of system
modifications to allow, and what not.

You can do a lot of dangerous stuff with dependencies with rpm, so
better not allow it in the first place (to regular users; I'm not
talking about Linux geeks here).

Totally agree with Martin. If Jolla wants to be successful and mainstream - average users should be priority. Power users will always find a way to do things.

Regards,
Filip
