I think the confusion may lie in the fact that gas powered vehicles do not have the same concern. Sure maintenance is required and all but you don't have the major drop in range just because the manufacturer pushes an update to "protect" your car. People expect their vehicles to work forever at original capacity.

I think people have a right to exist. If they are seeking asylum and they are not a threat, I think we should help each other out. Turning your backs on them because you don't like their race/religion goes against what America was supposed to be about. If we deport everyone who isn't legal knowing they'll either be killed or separated from their families, that speaks volumes about our country's morals and compassion. Deporting people because they don't "deserve" to be here is an extremely elitist attitude.

Common is 50% or more by everyone's definition.

This reminds me of AspectJ in that its a language extension with many similar features (extension methods etc). As useful as those features were, the syntactic sugar you get is confusing to new contributors to a project.

Here's a scenario thats played out. In the extension methods example on the Manifold README, it's highlighted that you can add your own methods to Java types. If any dev saw this in the project and they were unaware of manifold, it wouldn't be immediately clear what enables the addition of methods to the Java String type. They would figure it out eventually by either investigating or by debugging. These features blur the lines between programming language and framework.

Where I get weary about adding a dependency is when I see documentation with ~100 line boilerplate examples peppered with terms I've never heard before. Just because you use the word simple when describing something complex does not make it so.
