Thanks for the link. About the lack of resources problem though, I have a few points to make.

I think one of the unfortunate things that happened is indeed the arrival of new languages. Go, Rust, Swift, whatever is taking away a bunch of senior developers to work on those. Even though Python is still "most wanted" and "most popular", imho that does not reflect the reality among senior developers who are capable of taking on large tasks like this.

Sometimes the frustration expressed by package management has more to do with build dependencies rather than the distribution itself. Like a library that has a C dependency. In this context, the world of Go is equally messy, when CGO is involved. Luckily in their case, most people do rewrite libraries in Pure Go.
