In an LTSP environment surely you'd want it all centrally managed by
an admin so each device/server doesn't end up with 50 copies of
different versions of the same activity installed. It would be a
support nightmare, take up massive amounts of extra resources that it
need not do so and no doubt other issues that I haven't thought of
like issues with collaboration etc.
