Now for most package ecosystems the bus factor probably follows some kind of power law, but the vibe I get with Julia is that the relationship between bus factor and popularity (and package complexity, cf. NPM micro-packages) is a lot weaker I do think one actionable thing might be to more loudly mark c…

Just a hint, I don’t know if this suitable at all for you or for FileIO.jl but perhaps you want to check.

I see ideas like FileIO.jl as the natural (organic) solution to any fragmentation in the Julia ecosystem, despite that I don’t see any fragmentation problems, or better, I just don’t have a fragmentation problem with Julia. It’s just not a problem (for me). Ok, the other discussion…
