This is all possible to do today with the existing configurations and 
without any package manager. I run a grid where all the configs, asset 
cache, map tiles, and scripts are all outside of bin. The config 
variables already support this.

But that is not directly related to packages or package managers. That's 
grid management. I'd like to keep these two issues completely separate, 
as different people have different ways of doing grid management. We 
should just give the power for people to configure things in the way 
that works for them, which is what we're already doing, and we shouldn't 
create unnecessary dependencies between one activity (grid management) 
and the other (3rd party package installation).
