I tried to avoid small author packages these days; given a Laravel or PHP update, they become a maintenance headache.
small author packages 👀Must be taller than 5 ft 9 in.
A better phrase would be a small install base or new packages.

Just curious, what kind of experiences have you had with smaller packages?
I get your point, but at the same time, if everyone avoided packages with a small install base, how would any new package ever grow?
