 your comments I came away thinking you advocated for Composer in some
 contexts but recognized and acknowledged it not to be a fit in others.
 Specifically that Composer was great for managing the code base for
 WordPress websites but not appropriate for managing the dynamic
 installation of plugins and themes.

 I had '''told''' you the use of my quote was horrible, there is no "if" or
 discussion about it. I have no interest in being summoned into another
 wreck of a thread and having to explain myself.

 There is a vibrant, robust, and by now (relatively) popular practice to
 use Composer to manage WordPress and its extensions. This was made
 possible by hard work of people from PHP and WP communities who saw the
 value that progress delivers and pursued it.

 Meanwhile people on trac had been throwing continuous fit dedicated to
 maintain the worldview of WordPress core being center of the universe and
 Composer somehow having to justify itself to it.

 Composer is now objective reality of modern PHP development. WP can
 progress towards that or it can not, it's hardly relevant or interesting
 to the issue anymore.
