That's going to rule out a lot of known-useful things, like Eigen, isn't it?
My rule of thumb is: if I can’t afford to write my own test suite for a package (and all packages it transitively includes), I don’t use it. Package managers make it far too easy to rope in code of completely unknown provenance and quality.https://twitter.com/GordonHughes/status/1012432108244041729 …

Third-party test suites/benchmarks of adequate quality are acceptable, but I’m still auditing transient dependencies closely (this is often neglected), and I’m probably still writing my own test cases for the subset of the library I use.

A transitive dependency audit especially sounds valuable, as nice libraries are occasionally encumbered by marginal dependencies that bring only limited value. Could be an opportunity to post issues about those dependencies.
