@darius Technically, you're correct that anything can eventually deprecate and if you rely on it you can be suck. That said, there are language ecosystems that aren't an anarchic mess of indie developers and their tiny projects living and dying all the time, nor the focus on just pulling what you need from github whenever you need it. Other ecosystems let you package your dependencies. This sort of thing seems to happen a lot less in C, for example.
@roadriverrail heh, node/npm let you package your dependencies (hence their recent-ish introduction of `package-lock.json`) but.... not a lot of people actually do it
