The obnoxious and irresponsible part is the hubris of thinking you can have a package repository system that's going to not have problems like this and left-pad. You can't. Ever. This is unironically why languages too old for package repositories like C and C++ lend themselves to stabler, higher-quality software. On top of that is also the entitlement to feel like people providing you software for free MUST ALSO be responsible for polishing it forever. But, hey, I guess that attitude comes naturally with the package repository mindset. ;D People need to do all my work for me!
