Building a package manager is hard, and getting a package manager adopted =

the community, with hundreds of thousands of published packages=2E=20

It already supports *requiring* extensions; being able to *install* extens=

I would need an extremely persuasive argument to pay any attention at all =
to an incompatible alternative=2E
