How many people audit their dependency authors more than 1 level deep? That's the problem: I know who wrote all of my first level dependencies (react, react-router, redux, reacstrap, etc). I don't know who wrote _their_ dependencies, and the 3rd level, 4th level. And I don't think anyone has the time to adequately evaluate that every time a dependency's version gets bumped given how deep the graph goes.
