Battery packs are meant to address one of the most common things I hear from new Rust adopters. Everyone loves the wealth of high-quality crates available on crates.io. And everyone hates having to spend a bunch of time researching and comparing alternatives.

One of the key ideas from battery packs is that anybody can publish one.
So now we get to research and compare alternative battery packs? I guess it could help if there's fewer of them, but I don't see why that would be.
at the very least you could follow some trusted entity's recommendation for a bunch of crates at once. e.g. if the author of some large rust project like bevy published a battery pack I would pay attention because they have had to solve the problem of picking out several crates and seeing that they all work well together.
