After looking into it, just a couple of things to pick a bone at in the old wording,
which I thought could be clarified for when I next come to look at this again.
on some mainstream distros. So I have changed this to 'typically'
traditional distros make a point of not doing this for the reasons you'd expect).
There could probably be room to talk about how distros vendoring packages is a maintenance burden on them,
but I guess it's a bit moot as we would struggle to conform to wide enough bounds to make everyone
happy (and anyway; I expect the distros that vendor packages have the tooling to make this easy to
update and we do keep on top of security updates and release frequently...)
