Sounds like a great way to end up with what $lastco called "super builds" - massive repos with ridiculous amounts of cmake code to get the thing to compile somewhat reliably. It was a rite of passage for new hires to have them spend a week just trying to get it to compile.

All this does is concentrate what would be occasionally pruning and tending to dependencies to periodic massive deprecation "parties" when stuff flat out no longer works and deadlines are looming.
