Gaaaaaaaa.....  Flamebait.
I agree with what you say about apt and yum.
But as someone who has been using apt-for-rpm on Redhat for quite some 
time, and yum on Fedora since it came out,
these days I'm more surprised when I can't find a package as an RPM than
when I can. 

I recently installed two Linux-HA systems using the heartbeat RPMs from 
Horms
rather than compile my own from source.
