The "as is" clauses in Open Source licenses are there for a reason. That's one of the differences between coders and engineers. Coders just import libraries to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Engineers consider each import as a dependency they'll have to maintain, buy support for or replace. Log4j just highlighted this difference, with some knowing exactly what to patch and others franctically trying to determine if one of the thousands of dependencies they imported into their app actually used it.
