And then team 1 needs to upgrade pandas to 2.0, but team 2 is still on pandas 1, so when the main app pulls them in nothing works, so you need to start a cross-team committee to schedule the work to upgrade a single library... Separate serv

Yep. Want to upgrade from Python 3.8 to 3.10? Good luck, cause you've gotta get every engineering team in the organization to buy in and schedule time to do upgrade testing, not to say anything about fixing any breaking changes.
