Is this a Symphony thing or are external dependencies significantly more reliable in the PHP ecosystem in general? Last time I wrote PHP was 9 years ago and those times everyone I knew just copy-pasted all the external code they found. I know that package managers are the thing now and I&#x27;m using nuget for my .NET projects (and npm, which is a must if you do any front-end dev), however, I feel like I&#x27;m having more dependency management issues than the good ol&#x27;days in spite of using a language with static type checking.<p>I&#x27;m not saying &quot;vendor everything&quot; but maybe <i>some</i> vendoring helps, especially when every package author seems like they&#x27;ve taken the philosophy of &quot;doing one thing, doing it well and breaking everything on every update&quot;.
