I think that's the other metaphor here.

It's not just standing on the tiny shoulders of one forgotten maintainer. The entire system only appears stable because we're looking at a snapshot of it.

In reality it's already collapsing.

And that tiny thing is actually one of the last to collapse...

Yeah. Seems like there is ~0 friction.
