Do you have a reference to such statistics? I'd love to use them as yet another reason against vendoring dependencies when I talk to colleagues.

Cautiously posting that link, because I'm not against vendoring. You just need a process around keeping your dependencies up to date / refreshed automatically. The ability to vendor is one thing, how you use it is another.

Thanks!

I agree with your statement, but what I usually see in real life is that once dependencies are vendored in they never change.

That's what dynamic linking and Linux distributions are for.
