so why maintain your own implementation of the scheme/spec when a community already does, as well as handles the vulns as they pop up and generally has more eyes looking (and fixing) issues?
Here's how I look at it; Trust my own NIH implementation of a spec and hope a user reports a vuln instead of it going undisclosed/unnoticed in the wild for years, or use a community lib that is always being scrutinized and vetted and has security professionals involved. It's a no brainer for me.
