It is my conviction that these updaters only exist, because Microsoft OSs come without a packaging system. I prefer to have my plugins installed once and maintained by the system administrator instead of delegating this task to each user, such multiplying disk use and work. I'm aware I could do this by running eclipse as root, but I shudder at the thought of such abominal behaviour. I'm willing to take maintainership to preserve my ideal of using one packaging system for all software. Should I write a PR?
