@shish Yes. This concerns me, as well.
We haven't seen the long term cost of the #AI tendency to copy/paste code rather than to import from libraries.
I am concerned that patching is going to return to an earlier meaning - we may need to find ways to address widespread code vulnerabilities not with package managers, but by sharing `patch` files while trying to find everywhere that needs them.
