Similar things exist... for example the Conda repositories are a curated set of Python (and non-Python) packages which are tested together. It is extremely time-consuming (and thus expensive) to do this sort of thing, and when subjective decisions have to be made about which version of a package to include it gets even more difficult.
Said 'consumers' will need to be willing to compensate the people who do this work; it's definitely not an effort which can be funded with volunteer time (and we can already see how that works in other areas).
