Agreed, but then again do you expect everyone every Ubuntu users to start
compiling kernels? Technical OSM has a learning curve but then again GIS has
also a high learning curve. I guess that as soon as you get technical it
limits the number of people who can do it, but at least you are not limiting
who can do it as opposed to be part of the closed source.
