I've been researching Linux and open source package management for a while and I'm very excited about many of those technologies and their applications, from distri and systemd/mkosi to libostree and spack. Unsurprisingly, many of these are prompting us to revise how we think about distributions.

Hooks, triggers and other artifacts are regularly abused to achieve certain automation goals such as preseeding configuration or performing certain provisioning steps right after install, sometimes overreaching in terms of administrative privileges usage with broad security implications.
A good way to illustrate the complexity of this today is parsing through the several thousand lines of Ansible code devoted to dealing with APT or DNF, or how basic operations such as listing Linux packages or Go modules are handled.
