Dependency cooldowns are a nice idea, but I dare say they're a short-term solution.

They resemble the idea of avoiding poison by waiting for someone else to start eating first. That works, provided that someone actually eats first, and that the poison works fast. But eventually it leads to that awkward silence at the table when nobody wants to risk the first bite.

Adapting dependency cooldowns means basically waiting for "someone else" to notice the problem. At some point when large enough number of projects adapts them, we're going back to square one — except with an artificial few-day delay.

"... It is extremely impressive that @purism 's Librem phones run the same OS, though. #PureOS is emblematic of Purism more broadly: these are products aimed at buyers for whom privacy, security, and strict Free Software principles matter more than price, convenience, or performance."
