That’s not overly nice to the people that “jumped the gun”. They’re
using modularity exactly as it was designed. Tragedy of the commons is
an entirely predictible outcome, of something without a built-in
sharing strategy.
That is my view of the matter also. There are a lot of packagers with way too many packages... and we have too many dependencies... so any tool which allows for that to be 'easier' is going to start an avalanche of packages getting moved out of the 'ursine commons'. As someone said yesterday to me, it is like showing that you can make a better living as a farmer using industrial farming techniques and then complaining that the small old-fashioned farmer no longer exists... or that a lot of people quit being farmers because those who used the industrial methods took over the market.
