The short version was that he was telling you, and the other people in this thread, to stop pontificating and to do something that resembles developing/researching a solution. A lot of the people who actually have experience working on the engine are literally ignoring this conversation right now (and may come back to it next month) because it's just too much noise and nonsense right when we're near feature freeze. Your focus and intent to drive this discussion towards trying to duplicate composer reduces its usefulness. I get that you do not like PSR-4/composer/whatever. I honestly cannot wade through the 15,000-ish words you've sent in these threads to nail down the specifics. But I know for a fact that an attempt to redesign composer is: 1. Orthogonal to PHP modules (they have nothing to do with each other from a design perspective). 2. Doomed to failure. Your one useful takeaway, that Larry gave you specific steps for, is to focus on the feature the original proposer of the thread was trying for, instead of continuing to derail it into composer-related nonsense.
