Nix offers the best of both worlds on this aspect: each program can depend on the exact version of a library it needs and several versions can coexist on the disk, but if two programs depend on the exact same version, it is stored only once

The problem now is that it's the producer that decides what the packaging is, but it's the consumer (or the state) who pays for the collection and recycling. By making the producer pay for it, you give them an incentive to make it
