There's a sort of Zen koan like sequence here, it seems to me.
"How can we solve the problems of updating?"
"Aha! Well, 2 independent boot partitions, so there's fallback and it will also help if failing disk blocks destroy one... And we can keep a known good one by having one update the other..."
"So, then, how do we solve the problem of app packaging?"
"Ahh, grasshopper, the answer is simple. Allow no additional apps."
The answer to multiple packaging systems is... not to have a packaging system.
But I think it's hilarious that a Linux has come along and solved public-facing desktop Linux, sold hundreds of thousands of units and used by millions of people... and the Linux world didn't notice and denies it when pointed out.
