I absolutely agree in principle: Modularity is the best approach; however, since we are not all hands-on in the same repo, with the ability to pull from each line/component being made, it becomes difficult, over time, to maintain a link to "shared" updates.
Perfect example. I have seen a few "horse feed timers". Do they all use the same logic? of course. But the level of integration is different.
Had there just been a "horse timer" function? Maybe, but that requires a serious investment on the part of people to maintain vigilance to changes and adapt/update their code base(s) accordingly.
I feel it is just too much to ask casual, and even non-casuals, in a loosely shared environment, do adhere to a standard like that.
