> If you really have so many repos it sounds annoying that there isn't room for team level experimentation.

For what it's worth, I'll say that I can understand such top down governance: you'd have an easier time around moving across projects that you work on within the org, there'd be less risk of a low bus factor, BOM and documentation/onboarding might become easier.

Same as how there are Java or .NET shops out there, that might also focus on a particular runtime (e.g. JDK vendor) or tooling (an IDE, or a particular CI solution, even if it's Jenkins).

On the other hand, if the whole org would use MySQL but you'd have a use case for which PostgreSQL might be a better fit, or vice versa, it'd kind of suck to be in that particular situation.

It's probably the same story for Node/Deno/Bun, React/Vue/Angular or anything else out there.

No reason why that mandated option couldn't eventually be Bun, though, for better or worse.
