I think it's a horrible idea in any case. Imagine if this had happened 20 years ago, and we were stuck with RPM as the only package manager.

Standards are good, but so is diversity. So is innovation. There isn't a perfect package manager, or even agreement about whether rolling upgrades are better than fixed releases. We wouldn't have immutable distros (which I'm not a fan of, but I'm glad someone is researching and experimenting with them).

It's not "wasting time," it's a dynamic, evolutionary ecosystem.
