How is the user supposed to navigate all the logistics and technical ramafications of ethical/political dev / package choices ? Everything has alternative versions, its hard for me to keep track of who forked what and why.

Generally speaking they don't need to. If you are developing C code and need some particular compiler version, you just install a package (ie "pkg install gcc9") and make sure to set CC=gcc9, and that's it.
