Indeed. But I expect it'd be easier to get one person to write one blog post about their favourite packages than to create some sort of comprehensive list of everything that's good :)
of course it would, but then you'd only know about a few packages -- not a great comparison.
And reviewing those few packages would be just as minimal as anything else, because neither of us has any sort of comprehensive knowledge of packages :) But maybe it'd be a start.
However, that's why I like the idea of a centralized package review site -- then you get that one person to write one review of the PCRE packages and post a PR. Then a couple hundred such people and you've got something! But critical mass would be hard to get.
Every review (where a "review" might cover multiple packages) would have to have a date on it, so people know how useful the information is likely to be. Which means your centralized review site is really just a link to a bunch of separate things anyway. ChrisA
