> Distributions are more than just hosted collections of software from

> upstreams. Each distribution is responsible for problem-solving in
> building,
> testing, and releasing software as well as managing the lifecycle of
> each
> application in the collection. Additionally, distributions do very
> important
> work in ensuring that various versions of upstream software work well
> together
> and can co-exist. Distribution are also, often responsible, for
> "de-vendoring"
> upstream software so that security fixes can be applied more quickly.
>
