I typically keep many projects around, each one with its own (possibly 
old, possibly modified) Lua interpreter and libraries. Sometimes the 
projects are shared with other people that may have different system 
configurations; in any case thay should be completely contained in a 
stand-alone directory.
Having a system-wide repository for Lua interpreter and libraries and 
(especially) being only able to get pre-compiled libraries in its format 
or through its management program would significantly complicate my 
life, as would any form of auto-updating or lack of direct control over 
interpreter and libraries.

Of course, people using Lua for system-related tasks would see things 
differently. LuaRocks is a laudable project, it's just not what I 
currently need.
