Yep, sustainable dependencies are a key criteria for us. I'm happy to see OSS with a big community or paid hosting. OTOH, grown wary to see VC-backed (esp. big rounds) or corporate side-projects (esp. at unicorns with high churn in teams + tech, or bigco's with no OSS community governance track records).
Yes, it's doable to replace things after a year or two. But, if a bunch of dependencies have risk, that turns into a rip-and-replace treadmill of negative customer value and burns out a team.
