If people used it properly, it wouldn't really be an issue.

  It's not an issue, it's a ginormous convenience. Wouldn't you rather have one # decl that does all the legwork of installing a dependency for you, plus all the things it depends on? All these cool kids' languages have that stuff builtin now. Or at least builtin one level away, ie gem, "go get", gradle, etc and ilk. It's so convenient. I dread that part of c*.

    Go live behind a firewall. See how that pans out for you. It will encourage some horrendous levels of indirection in dependencies that cpp currently doesn't suffer from. I've been doing this for 7/8 yers and I don't feel inconvenienced. Indeed I think it represents a decent quality control step

      True, there's tradeoffs there.
