On the plus side it does serve as a powerful reminder of the costs and technical debt incurred by dependencies and why they should be minimized as much as practical. We've got some projects based on abandoned libraries that will never be upgraded to python 3, essentially leaving us paralyzed on python 2. These projects were also meant to be deprecated a decade ago so no path forward was ever created, but they cling on to dear life.
