There are three "platform dependency" pseudo-packages available for packages to depend on different aspects of Composer's version: https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/composer-platform-dependencies.md If these didn't seem suitable, they could add another, like "composer-autoloader".

Thank you, I stand corrected. composer-runtime-api appears appropriate based on the description.

I think "autoloading tools and conventions would need to adapt" is definitely a cost to be weighed against the benefit, but not a blocker in itself.

Yes, even with the support for these pseudo-packages, every author would need to remember to add those dependencies, which definitely has a cost on the entire ecosystem. Best regards Tim Düsterhus
