The introduction of package management directly into the language tooling core is a very good move for the language designers. It is a highly modern touch, which will enable rapid development and a common understanding of packages. Other languages have developed such add-ons, but only after a period of confusion.

If the designers want to really take it to the next level, they should introduce, possibly with idiomatic behavior but preferable with syntax, the idea of version pinning or at least version hinting within the "import" syntax.
