the npm version is decoupled from the binary version, when i want them locked together

A) maintainers don’t know any better and connect things with string and gum until it most works and ship it

B) people who are smart, but naive and think it will be different this time

C) package manager creators who think they’re creating something that hasn’t been done before, don’t look at prior art or failures, and fall into all of the same holes literally every other package manager has fallen into and will continue to fall into because no one in this industry learns anything.
