You totally missed the point.
The point with 1 package only was to demonstrate how easy it is
to maintain and that it theoretically would have the long
longevity. When one has an infinite number of packages then
every package(or almost everyone) would rot very quickly.
I didn't say there should actually only be one package, as that
is absurd. What I said was that because D has no organizational
structure to focus work on a fewer number of better maintained
and designed packages there is a ton of shit out there for D
that doesn't work but there is no way of knowing and not always
an easy fix because it takes time to understand the code or it
is simply defunct.
This is not rocket science...
I know that you wanted to talk about easier maintenance. But what
exactly is that D organization going to do ? Prevent people from
making more packages and force them to work on theirs instead ?
No matter if there is an organization, there will always be
unofficial packages going stale. You sound like it's going to be
a magical solution.
