Especially in the JavaScript arena, I think there is to gain without much overhead already in the current way of working. What if packages where multiple versions are in use would ship multiple versions *in the same binary package*? In my experience, the maintainer needs to link to the right directory anyways, if those are semver versioned directories, it would be clear (with a tiny bit of tooling maybe) which package needs which version. And if the maintainer of the shipping package wants to drop some, they could communicate about that. Maybe they could even ship a latest or recommended version for those packages where it's not absolutely important which version they get. No idea if this idea works for other areas. Paul
