Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Extension management with Composer/Hard dependency upon composer/reply (6)

I would agree that Composer is a sane choice here -- it's in use in quite a few other places (user familiarity), it's developed by a dedicated team (well tested and supported), and it should be pretty easy to build additional UI on top of it (for whenever we get around to an Extension manager). Rolling our own dependency manager "just cause" is something that should be avoided when good FOSS alternatives already exist.
