That's not correct, you can just inline any package into your vendor folder in your project.

And the package website is just an index, the sources need to be on github in the first place (this has some problems too), but if the website is down, you can still grab them from github.

Hasn't package.elm-lang.org gone down a couple of times last year alone, which stopped people from installing/updating packages locally?
