A critique of package managers

i had this idea for vendor based “package manager”

what if packages were meant to be read, and config was set inside the file directly

what if we transitioned to think of packages as templates, rather than generic black boxes

i think it would drastically reduce dependencies, package complexity, and improve understanding

You can do this in Python, today. Whenever you need a package, just add its code in a directory under your project's root. And good luck.
