Mozno by stalo za uvahu zvazit taky pohlad na softver:

1. Mame tu ludi, ktory sa rozumeju danej veci (cstex) a vytvorili nieco, co je relativne pouzitelne pre rozne distribucie TeX-u a rozne operacne systemy

2. Mame (bohuzial alebo nastastie ako sa to vezme) vela operacnych systemov, z ktorych niektore ponukaju pomerne sofistikovane balickovacie mechanizmy. Niektori ludia vedia cosi o tom, ako sa tieto balickovacie systemy funguju a pre decentny softver

3. Mame tu pouzivatelov, ktory sice mozu byt odbornikmi na rozne oblasti ale nemusi to byt zrovna implementovanie a konfiguracia TeX-u alebo instalacia roznych podivnych softverov a nasledne hakovanie este podivnejsich konfigurakov alebo ked toho sch

Ak nemame balicky, tak to vacsinou dopada tak, ze ludia vygooglia nejaky HOWTO (ako sadzat Japoncinu, napriklad) a ten s vacsim alebo mensim uspechom interpretuju bez toho, ze by presne vedeli, co robia. Toto je miesanie kompetencii a mrhanie casu be

- definuje akcie potrebne vykonad pred/po instalacii jeho balicka a pred/po odstraneni jeho balicka

Ak balicky mame ale su priliz monstrozne (to je pripad tetex-{bin,base,extra} veci), tak to dopada tak, ze jeho udrzba nie je skalovatelna.

Domnievam sa, ze cstex (a mnozstvo inych veci) nema byt sucastou mojich tetex-{bin,base,extra} balickov ale mali by byt udrzovane/distribuovane samostatne. Je sice pravda, ze je treba celkovo vyvinut (trochu) vacsie usilie (balickovanie je overhead n
