This is a serious problem in Nix too. I often trip over buggy and abandoned Nix packages. Nix often makes it easy to roll back or work around them, but they're absolutely there.

They still build though. No one said anything about Nix being a solution to buggy software or bad maintainers, that's an absurd expectation.
