Fetching from git is possible. The downsides are lack of semver, having to clone the full history of the repo, and having to clone the complete repo including files not needed for just using the lib, eg preprocessors, docs and tests.

I assume people use tags and such no? That gives you versions and you can just fetch it at a specific tag. Either way, this is very much a solvable problem.

A few docs and tests doesn't strike me as much of an issue.
