[GitHub] [trafficcontrol] rob05c edited a comment on pull request #6455: Remove vendored dependencies

   Vendoring prevents the build from breaking in the future, when people delete their github repos that TC depends on.
   
   Internet resources disappearing is a common problem, and it makes it impossible to build older versions, if we don't vendor and include everything necessary to build without the internet. See: `left-pad`.
   
   It also makes it possible to build if someone doesn't have an internet connection, or is in an area where one of the dependency URLs is blocked by a firewall.
   
   I really think the project should vendor, for those reasons.
