Situation dependent, because "big money" and "political interests" and 
such tend to promptly destroy any that actually look promising. Presently 
using whatever RedHat's "up2date" decides to download. Do we control 
"up2date" or write our own? Typically I resolve such issues by going as 
direct to the author as I can for each component, if the author is an 
ally. If the author is not an ally, then their product becomes yet another 
wheel that 'we' have to reinvent.
