And I'd rather rely on the Linux distribution to give me a proper Apache/SSL/whatever compilation that is kept up to date by the distribution maintainers. Or did you make a whole package delivery system as well, to seemlessly deliver e.g. an OpenSSL update if a vulnerability is published in the version you initially packaged?
