You could always manage your packages and their dependencies yourself.

Or you could release a new package manager which does provide support for that functionality, build out a team of maintainers, and stay on top of all the releases

That's like saying "if you don't like your country, start your own". The goal isn't to abandon homebrew, but to have it not break things all the time.

It's really not. It's borderline impossible (pun intended) to start your own country, mainly because you need to find a piece of land first. Starting a package manager is, like, a few months of work?

Thats such a cop out answer!

So according to you nobody is allowed to criticise anything because “shut up and build it yourself if you dont like it”?
