Sure. Protocols are like air. And I'll even give you a pass on your OS kernel. Can you think of any examples where my idea may be more useful? How about we measure mean time between security incidents. Spend time understanding your dependencies in order of their security records. And you just have to learn enough to go noping away from it. Once you delete a dependency you don't have to waste your time on it anymore. Does that seem useful? If it just gets you thinking about the full cost of ownership of your dependencies, I think chatting with me has paid for itself :) (None of this applies if you aren't providing a service to others, of course. If you're just learning, use whatever you want!)
