"We've received your test reports. Your drug intake is well below industry standards. Here's some techno CDs, remedy this immediately."

Pseudoscience is everywhere in Louisiana - a report from the ground.

Sort of. In practice, taking on an unmaintained library yourself (whether as a public project or just internally) means taking on unknown amounts of technical debt.
