Just a thought experiment, lets say funding was solved, but in a way that package's funding is split between owner and all dependencies. Then there would be economic incentive to implement trivial bits yourself and only dependencies bringing true value would be pulled in. This in turn would weed out all the rubbish packages as there would be no reason to create them in the first place, since no one would be installing them. It can benefit whole ecosystem where rules of Darwin's evolution come into play.
