It works pretty well, it’s like how continuous integration seemed absurd to people who spent months integrating changes and now is the standard practice.

Anyways, in my experience, if you routinely use the latest and greatest versions of dependencies, over time you find that you stop using dependencies that make this painful.

Anyways, I’m fine with accidental breakage. Deliberately choosing instability in the form of a major version release seems irresponsible for packages at the base of an entire ecosystem. (Absent some critical security issue that your users would have to address anyways as happened with log4j)
