(To use a horribly unrelated analogy...) Why does Ford not make 
Chryslers?  They're two different systems.

Why are RPMs not based on .deb packages?  Why doesn't FreeBSD use System 
V style init?  Different systems, different designs.

Why doesn't Encap use the lsp format? ;)

I, personally, don't like Encap.  I'd rather take the complexity out of 
the system, than hide it with more complexity (and I think Eric would 
agree with me there, considering he built LSPM :)).  Managing massive 
amounts of symlinks is overly complex, in my opinion, and just adds 
another layer of potential for problems.
