 I'm not familiar enough with these products to give a technical opinion
 beyond the general 1) any solution which is apt-gettable is simpler and
 already proven on the platform so therefore easier for us to maintain, and
 2) avoid 3rd party solutions which incur redistribution issues.
 Philosophically fully FOSS solutions should be favoured, whenever
 available && appropriate.
