Hooks are not a new standard. Package managers have always supported hooks. It is just a call to get us to parity.

  Package managers have individually supported hooks, configured in different ways, and with different metadata available unique to the package manager in each hook. Any attempt to standardize hooks "globally" would be a new standard. It might borrow elements from existing implementations of this package manager or that package manager, but it doesn't sound like you build a "universal" hook without some deeper standard on which events get hooked, what metadata is presented and how, etc. It stands to reason as you start to standardize that sort of stuff the final standard won't resemble any specific package manager's existing hooks.
