What makes some open source updates so difficult?
Google published a case study examining the engineering effort required to maintain internal copies of open source software packages. Most updates demand four hours or less of engineering time, while complex updates can stretch to days or months.
Why it matters: Organizations relying on open source face variable maintenance costs: practitioners should budget for updates that range from routine four-hour tasks to months-long efforts depending on package complexity and dependency impact.
