I guess I have an expectation that if you don't change anything, software should just work when you boot a system up again, after a few months of inactivity.

But this does NOT work for web software, because we have built in these global, centralized dependencies.

So certificates expire. Or software handshakes are out of date with some centralized repo, and somehow this is my problem, even though I haven't changed anything.

This just intuitively seems bad and fragile to me.
