[hobbit] Future of Hobbit

[Josh Luthman]

The thing I see packages being beneficial is if there are a lot of users
that need an "easier" installation.  If it costs more support time to make
packages then to drill down the problems with compiling then I could see a
reason to make packages and update them.

Pretty sure it is understood the source isn't disappearing among everyone
here.  I'm sure it will be a cold day in hell when that happens ;)
