Comment (by kallisti5):
One benefit of PM was that as /boot/system was read only it improved os
security, etc. If files in packages can be blacklisted, in theory
nefarious binaries could take the place of legitimate system files /
libraries through the non-packaged directories. (then again, I think non-
packaged stuff overrides system files anyway at the moment... so that may
be a moot point)
