Yeah, it is bike shedding to discuss dependency management, because dependency management is an "insignificant or unimportant detail" of a programming language. /s
You say "/s", but for some reason, many people still hold the sincere position that dependency management is something that can just be tacked on to a language as an afterthought.
Of course it can. npm, composer, etc all added it to their respective languages as afterthoughts, and many years (or decades even) after the language was out.
It's bike shedding when you have no actual idea about the problems and solution, but decide on something anyway. The implementor in the meantime figured it out by himself and just did it.
