It's all a big dump, discoverability is bad.

Name clauses.

Version clauses. "All binaries inside a folder" needs renames to allow for a different version (even if it's a different minor version).

It's just the binaries, which was OK back in the "program = single binary", before "man" even, days, but now it splits the program from different assets it uses (man pages, default configuration, image assets, etc). This in turn makes deleting/moving more difficult, and adds all kinds of baggage to package managers.

>It's hard to read the list, but Linux has plenty of tools to fix that particular problem.

That's a description of the problem to me. Needing "plenty of tools" to fix an initial bad commitment.
