  Sad to see so many people treat package management like a gatekeeper. "Oh, you don't have an employee dedicated to maintaining 20 versions of packages for every single distro and release of distro? Well we don't want you on linux" Flatpak enables people to publish a single package that just works on all distos and doesn't break every 6 months. It's removing the maintenance gatekeeping. I think it will be interesting to see if tech like WASM results in packages which work across CPU architectures as well as Linux on ARM is very painful currently, let alone more obscure ones like RISC-V.
