Comment:
> Why the "electron" label with a sick emoji? Are Electron apps banned from Void?

They are usually not easily packagable, most PRs that never get merged for electron apps just repackage binaries for x86_64+glibc, which is not acceptable for multiple reasons. Rerpacking binaries for open source software is bad practice and especially bad for things like electron which has a ton of dependencies, that would potentially lock our repository to a specific version that we can't update until the binaries are rebuild by upstream.
