The security model is a big one for me. If they could extend the permissions system to work for individual dependencies, they could solve one of the biggest security issues facing developers right now. Especially if policies could also be applied to node packages.
Are there any plans to move in this direction? It seems like if you can do it for the full app, you should hypothetically have the capability to make it library-specific. Or perhaps there are non-obvious blockers that make it too hard?
If there are plans to do this, isn't it better to do it sooner rather than later? Better to get library authors in the habit of specifying permissions/policies now while the ecosystem is still small. If you wait too long, it will be a ton of work to retrofit all the existing libs.
