This was definitely true of previous generations, where each buildpack needed lots of magic to play nice with others and you needed to fork them if you wanted a particular feature.

CNBs are easily composable, partly because of that experience. No more forking necessary.

This is especially true of Paketo's buildpacks, which tend to do exactly one thing each. E.g., Paketo Node.js buildpack is just a configuration file that's composed of other buildpacks: https://github.com/paketo-buildpacks/nodejs/blob/main/buildp...
