So, that's one of the things that bugs me about OS X. There is no way
for managing packages. If I'm running Debian or FreeBSD, I can handle
this situation _without_ restoring from a previous backup. Hell, even MS
Windows supports this sort of thing.
There are numerous reasons why restoring from a backup may not
practical. Those aside, yes, in ideal world, it would be nice to have a
system snapshot before you make any serious system change. But, how do
you quantify "serious"? So, lets move from an ideal world to a practical
one. The basic facts are, administrators sometimes forget things or make
poor decisions. There is a level of fault tolerance that makes a system
"usable".
Just my $0.02.
