Also the fact that their package manager is strongly coupled against https://package.elm-lang.org/. There is no way to override it. This means that if that package site ever goes down, you will be left with an unbuildable project. Seems pretty risky to me.

I mean you should be proxying/caching your repo anyway, non? Even just to save on bandwidth.

It's a lot more fiddly to do that if the package manager doesn't support you doing it. (In fact it might be impossible if it's using HTTPS)
