    You mean… zero scrutiny? 🙂 The big advantage of AUR is that there’s only one of it but that’s about it.

    The PPA model is fundamentally broken. As soon as you replace a core package from a PPA (which happens silently if it’s a dependency) you can kiss upgradeability goodbye. By the time the next Ubuntu release rolls out you’ll be in dependency hell and won’t be able to upgrade cleanly.
