Imagine working for the state. Your non technical boss comes in and asked why you have a holiday theme on the page when policy is to not show celebration on state websites.
He asks you why you put this code in. You tell him you didn’t write the code. He asks who did. You tell him it’s open source, many people contributed and someone put this in without telling anyone. At this point, you’ve lost all credibility to you non technical boss and all of his non technical execs. You put a strangers code on the state run website, without reviewing it and without knowing what’s in it.
