When you have so many dependencies that you need to create complex systems to manage and "secure" the dependencies. The problem is that you have too many dependencies, you are relying on too many volunteer work, and you are demanding too many features while paying for too little. The professional solution is to PAY for your Operating System, and rely on them to secure it. Whether it be to Microsoft or to Red Hat. You KNOW it's the right thing to do, and this is overintellectualizing your need to have a gratis operating system and charge non-gratis prices to your clients in turn.
