When you really get down to it, there's two categories of software. If the project is called "pname", it's on version 0.11 since the last release in 2018, it's used in every other software project started since the first Bush administration, and it's as stable as a mountain. If the project is called "Project Name 🚀", it's on version 105.3 since three hours ago, it launched six months ago but has already made its way into 20% of node.js projects and each patch simultaneously fixes and introduces five critical vulnerabilities.
