That's part of what has changed with development since the rise of `git` and
`GitHub`. IoC tries to address the complexity of project lifecycles using design
patterns, but these days we tend to that through communication; issues and pull
requests.

The ability to get a patch into the source has given programmers more confidence
in their dependenies. They are no longer deferring decisions by "programming to
interfaces", but instead making a commitment to a dependency. C# and Java are
afraid of commitment, they see it as a potential hostage situation.
