I'm a newcomer as OP. And the most problematic to me is not a huge
number of packages but the need to manually evaluate numerous
alternatives while searching for desired functionality. Some kind of
quality or popularity rating would simplify things tremendously. Or
maybe some standard criteria for production-ready packages could be
established and packages meet it should be clearly marked as such.
There are communities developing thousands of interrelated packages
(like drupal.org) which manage to tackle the issue using variation of
techniques I mentioned.
