Not so much - I can rpm --badreloc any binary rpm I lay my hands on, or
even simply rpm --root, to install any binary RPM under any path I can
write to. under most circumstances (include KDE) that allows me to
basically run anything from anywhere (noexec not withstanding), and
don't get me started about klik and 0install.
The non-existence of one vendor provided binary package does not exclude
the existence of others.
