A concern with pre-packaged collections of extensions is: what if I only want one of the extensions in a package? I suspect for my work I would want a many from the architectural package and several from the interior design package and some from the game design package, some engineering, organic modeling, some landscaping, and a few oddballs as well. I wonder if I would just end up downloading/purchasing every package as each one would have at least 1 specific extension I want.
It runs the risk of following the cable tv model, where channels are divided into tiers and packages and one must buy access to 50 channels one does not care about to get the one the matters. Of course they try to curate the packages according to what they think we want/need but it just ends up categorizing/homogenizing/limiting everyone into pre defined boxes.
I’m not dismissing the idea, it’s a interesting discussion that (along with the others that have cropped up about native feature inclusion) I’m watching. Just wondering how packages could be implemented in a way that leaves me the same degree of customization and choice that I currently enjoy.
