Having 14 different libfoos because 14 different bundlers (i.e. I have a hard time believing that all bundlers of their respective given piece of software will keep an eye on the update streams coming from all of the other parts they have bundled to make their app work to ensure that their bundle is not supplying me with an out-of-date piece of software that has security vulnerabilities in it.
