You are a sad minority, IME. I’m right there with you. I extended the uuid library to generate UUIDv7, based off of the RFC. It’s pretty easy to implement, as it turns out. Overruled, because “we don’t want to have to maintain additional code.” As if the ABI for bitshifts is going to change?!

There’s an out of sight, out of mind mentality with dependencies.

As long as there is a conscious decision to build or ‘buy’, it’s fine. I think some people can be a little too careless with adding dependencies though, not realising they can have an equal if not greater maintenance burden.
