Packer does not seem to be maintained. Version 2 being developed
by Lewis @ https://github.com/lewis6991/packer.nvim has breaking
changes. Migrating to Lazy will open it's own can of worms & it
does not use packages. Funny thing is author of Packer himself
uses Lazy.
We really should not be needing anything fancy. neovim can load
packages automatically from packpath. All we need is something
which will clone the packages to packpath and all those will be
automatically loaded.
paq.nvim which we were using before packer was the right choice
and does the bare minimum we stated above.
Rest all with features like fancy lazy loading is nonsense.
