How many CVEs?

Yes, true. But the probability of finding new CVEs from any 65 lines of non-obfuscated code diminishes rapidly. In many situations I'd rather use a short minimal fresh lib that I can review as if it was mine than a mature but overly feature-loaded one that may still have any number of pending gotchas in dark corners.

I must admit I was very much against the practice of NIH syndrome, but if it's that short I would prefer to write my own version instead of adding a dependency.

In this day and age who knows when a dependency is hijacked :(

		At 65 lines, if the license is right, you can just copy it like you would with a StackOverflow answer. In these situations I leave a comment on top saying where the code came from so it can be revisited later.
