When I was listening to the part about breakage vs accretion, I kept thinking back to the Nix pkg manager from NixOS. It does a pretty good job of separating out the artifacts by indexing them by version number and a hash of the username (i.e. artifact-name = sha($user) + $project-name + $semver). There have to be other examples of pkg managers that do this kind of thing too...
