@matt Ffmpeg is an interesting example. I use some software that only claims support for mp4 video. But it’s just using ffmpeg, so it’ll take whatever I throw at it. As a user, I’d be upset if it really did require mp4. I get saying mp4 is the only supported format to lower support costs. But bigger packages allow software to be more adaptive to user needs the developer didn’t care about. Similarly, we see what always happens when accessibility features are made optional dependencies: they are always excluded. I’d rather developers use packages with all the bells and whistles. Even if they don’t expose the functionality I need, at least I am more likely to be able to hack it in one way or another.
