Understandable.
The way I see it, a software project has only (1) code you maintain or pay someone to maintain for you, and/or (2) throwaway code that you will eventually need to replace with an incompatible version.
Nothing wrong with a project that is just gluing throwaway code because it's a gamble that usually pays off. But if that code is from third-party dependencies, just don't believe for a second that those dependencies (or any compatible forks) will outlive your project, or that their developers have any incentive at all to help you maintain your project alive.
