All I can say is get used to it.

Sometimes even in open source support just ends; unless you know how to patch bugs/fix dependency drift then you may be SOL there too.

Only best defence is know what your project's dependencies are and mitigate for potential loss/change.

"unless you know how to patch bugs/fix dependency drift"

Or are willing to pay someone who does...

Whouah! You mean I COULD patch bugs, fix dependency drift or have somebody do it for me against (reasonable) payment at all? That's wonderfull!

Try to do that with Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Word!
