Hi, I don’t know enough about this topic to offer a well-informed assessment, but this is something that really needs to be discussed. Micro-packages that contain just a single line of code and perform trivial tasks, that a programmer could easily write themselves, should be phased out gradually, so that the number of packages requiring maintenance is steadily reduced. But if such discussions are deemed "inappropriate" everywhere, then nothing will change over time. I don’t want to discuss this any further, I just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention again. As AI capabilities increase, a system that has ran out of control, one that may have been well-intentioned at the time, creates unnecessary vulnerabilities. Regards, Ralf
