> Now whether or not it's a good idea to support this kind of dependency stuff can be controversial. In practice though clearly it does cause problems the larger your codebase gets as you're more likely to have some nested dependency chain that's time-consuming to upgrade so you'd rather move faster than make sure you're only running 1 version of the dependency.
Consider the view that some times it can be sloppy & other times it's not & it's impossible to distinguish between the two in an automated fashion.
