I don't believe the second part of this paragraph is a necessary result or consequence of suckless. In fact, I'd argue that suckless advocates for verified dependencies as opposed superfluous or presumed dependencies. I feel like the following two quotes are corollaries of suckless. “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupe “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” - Albert Einstein
