The state of Georgia's web infrastructure serves nearly 10 million residents and includes websites and services for more than 80 different programs and agencies. As their network of Drupal 7 websites aged, and the needs of Georgia's diverse state agencies evolved, meeting everyone's requirements had grown increasingly difficult. Without a mandate to centralize web presence, the project required a system that addressed common functional needs while giving each agency its own visual appearance. But this appearance also had to remain identifiable within overall brand guidelines.
A bit of context before I come to the question: When we build our site with composer install, we use a proxied repository instead of using Packagist and packages.drupal.org directly. This is a recommended approach to protect against Dependency Chain Abuse (Source: OWASP - "CICD-SEC-3: Dependency Chain Abuse"). One Drupal-Module we use has specified patches for a different module and for core in its composer.json file.

Drupal 8.6.18
PHP 8.1.16 (I think)
