I am not sure what prompts the statement about Julia Computing implicitly controlling what packages are allowed/disallowed. Pretty much everything is allowed so long as it conforms to minimum published requirements. The process is carried out completely in the open on github in the METADATA.jl repository. Such statements can be very damaging to the community, when made without solid proof. Is our package management as good as it can be. No - and we are working on Pkg3. Is the process sometimes tedious - Yes, it sometimes is. But is it controlled by some group at Julia Computing - Definitely not.
