FWIW, this makes sense to me.

Here's how I see the current situation:
We currently have the luxury to pick and choose which packages get
added. In the future, users or developers will increasingly ask us to
include this or that package. I think it will be rare that we should
have any reason to deny such requests.
Currently, I won't spend my limited time working on adding things that I
see little value in, as there are so many important packages that are
still missing. However, if someone makes an explicit request for
something, I would think about encouraging such participation by
prioritizing it above something that I would otherwise see as higher
priority.
