I don't agree that nobody is adopting them. Can you please elaborate?

- Most companies I know have a 24 hours (at least) cooldown via their Artifactory / Nexus. They have ways to bypass it for urgent CVEs

- pnpm just adopted 24 hours cooldown as default, based on community feedback.

what is the difference between these two things from the point of view of how much work you have to do?

- checking every update of every dependency to see if is a relevant urgent security update

- checking every update of every dependency to see if it turns out to be a supply chain exploit

am i still checking every update of every dependency? there's no heuristic here. either you check them all, or you get randomly exploited - either by using known vulnerable software or from supply chain attacked software.
