no it is *not*

in cloud infrastructure where you have 100, 500, 1000
instances and need to reserve 50 or 150 MB more for the
base OS because dependencie chains you end easily in
a lot of gigabytes and not only the space, also the
time updates on all the instances takes

additionally there is a security point of view

take a look which software comonents in the last few
months had security-fixes where i even did not condiser
that they could open a security hole willingly

with every pulled and distributed dependency you raise
the amount of code with potential unknown security
relevant bugs
