Article kind of mangles the relationship between software reuse (which _has_ been here for a long time) and specific language library, etc..management.

many years ago now systems administrators were tasked with providing a safe and sane environment for end user and developers by performing the exact due diligence that is described in this article. In the 'move fast and break things age' all this has been thrown to the wind and everyone decries the language manager code sprawl and breakage. Of necessity enterprises revert to 'immutability' as if it was a desirable and necessary deployment characteristic. This is an ugly time in IT.
