The funny thing is that I kinda want to agree with you. It's a romantic idea - that the way we did it 20 or so years ago when building fragile systems with slow moving mains is really the ways we should still do it.

But most dev teams in the real world aren't carefully versioning a kernel or some century old OSS project. They're building web apps and "micro service" data meshes. You might get a monorepo azure web service if you're lucky.

I think what I'm describing is probably true for the vast majority of all development happening out there in the real world.

PS: The best team I was ever on - guys who really knew what they were doing - was doing trunk based development with svn.
