Well, no you can't. Adding them together implicitly affirms that libyears from different dependencies are equivalent.

Well, no you can't. Adding them together implicitly affirms that libyears from different dependencies are equivalent.
- stavros 2y agoYes it does. And you can say "this project has more libyears, so it's more mature".
- IanCal 2y agoThat really doesn't follow. A barely maintained mess of a personal project running for 10 years is not more mature than a 7 year project heavily developed and released by a high quality team, with 3 years of stability in the main API and in use around the world.
- bmacho 2y agoYes, that's the point of the metric. The observation that libyear is a dimension, libyears are additive. If you value some library years more, and some less, then weight the sum. It's like saying there is no point of natural numbers, because when you count apples, some apples might be rotten.
- edflsafoiewq 2y agoIt's saying you can't add different units together.
