If you're going to audit your dependencies sufficiently to know that then you don't need a tool like this anyway?

- rrwo 3y agoA tool like that won't replace auditing dependencies. The total age of dependencies tell you nothing useful.
- OJFord 3y agoNor did I claim it would. If you are auditing your dependencies like that then you don't need it, I said, as in it's not going to give you any extra information. If you're not, and very many people are not, then total age of dependencies is a decent low-effort approximation for the probability of bug fixes affecting parts of dependencies that you're using.
