Another fun scenario: your project has two dependencies, made by two different developers: `left-pad` and `right-pad`. `left-pad` will format your hard drive if it geolocates you being in a state that allows X. `right-pad` will format your hard drive if it geolocates you being in a state that criminalizes X.

Write a wrapper project that changes your location before any left-pad or right-pad function calls. Or just fork both and fix them how you see fit if they're open source.
