What's nice about the "libyear" concept is that it exposes the cost of indiscriminately pulling in 3rd party libraries.

IE, it discourages someone from sucking in a library just to use one tiny function that they could recreate in 10-15 minutes.

That sounds entirely orthogonal to the goal, which isn't a good thing for a metric.
