I’ve added the fluid-project repos to Snyk with the exception of repos that
were forks ( unless they were named fluid-* ).

Thanks
Justin

Hello,

By lazy consensus rules, there have been no objections to adopting this
tool.

Unfortunately I don't have admin privileges to the fluid-project
organization to add the repositories to Snyk myself. Anyone with those
privileges, please feel free to login to Snyk, select the 'Fluid Project'
organization in the top dropdown, click on 'Add my GitHub repositories to
Snyk' and then select the ones from the 'fluid-project' GitHub
organization.

Thank you,
Giovanni

though many of us regularly run "npm outdated" (or "yarn outdated") and
test our work with newer libraries, having a report on known bad versions
gives us a consistent "trailing edge". By that I mean that if we haven't
managed to otherwise update our dependencies when snyk identifies a
problem, we have a good reason to take a moment and review.
