You may think that single-file program distribution with 
sandboxing is a stupid workaround, but many of us who are Linux 
fans and dislike Microsoft disagree with you.  Sometimes you 
want to just compile one version of your code, not build a 
package for every possible Linux distribution ever made or rely 
upon the charity of distribution maintainers to write spec files 
or ebuilds.
