I've never met bapt, who implemented pkg, or bdrewery, but from
what I can see, implementing pkg was not a short-term project for them.

It was the only way out from the technical burden of the old scheme,
they saw the problem, and went to solve it.

If someone A wants someone B else to work harder for his own benefit:
You can always hope that B is doing it, but you can not expect it.

And it's a bit strange to disparage such a person with a snide remark
like 'short-term perspective'. It's always easy to argue from the
sideline.
