_What_ code, Richard? All you've done in this whole ridiculous thread is
spout generalities and generally attack -core.

This is a cop-out. Define your "different way." If it takes code to do
it, write the code, even if that's just shell scripts. Set up a prototype
that's publically visible. Prove your point, don't just argue.

You haven't even proven that there _is_ an "underlying problem." As far as
_I'm_ concerned, there _isn't_, and I keep a full repository just for the
convenience of having it local.

seen in the past.
It's simple: Put up or shut up.
