Notes:
Number of packages
<slide filled of fixed-font package names>
We have so much stuff that we can't manage to get it all stable at the same time
We can't pretend to solve the scaling problem by not accepting new package, that is, by not allowing it to scale
Scaling problems are not just techical problems like order-of-magnitude in algorithms
The problem of handling a list of 12800+ packages (steadily growing) (and the problem of what a package manager should do with it and how)
A completely new piece of software: the package manager
Report the results of the brainstorm, to give an idea of what a package manager really is
