External Dependencies
External dependencies can be problematic if the package is discontinued or the supporting organization is unreliable
-
Security Vulnerabilities
Security depends on the supporting organization, which can pose risks if the packages are not properly maintained
-
Compatibility Issues
There can be compatibility issues between different versions of packages, which can cause conflicts and require additional effort to resolve
-
Maintaining Current Versions
Developers must keep packages up-to-date, which requires additional effort to manage updates and potential breaking changes
-
Limited Control Over Package Content
Developers have limited control over the content and quality of the packages they use, leading to issues if the package does not meet their specific needs
