131	Better package management for eggs, gems, and other vaguely spherical-shaped objects	andersk		"We currently install a bunch of Perl CPAN modules, Python eggs, and Ruby gems behind RPM’s back.  But we have no plan in place for upgrading them, making sure they don’t conflict with RPMs, or making sure they get superseded by new Fedora packages when they become available.  This is a disaster waiting to discovered.

Everything should be an RPM.  There are tools for automatically converting these creatures into RPMs, such as cpanspec, setup.py bdist_rpm, and gem2rpm.  We should start using them and get rid of all the unpackaged modules lying around.
