There was an excellent point somewhere by some youtuber-coder. I don't remember off the top of my head.
If you ever find yourself at the point where you are deciding on whether to fork a huge project or update to the latest version, you maybe just experiencing the consequence of deciding to have your core product have external dependencies at inception.
I am paraphrasing of course.
