Of course. It is all a matter of striking the right balance between all the

But one must ask, WHY the BC? Other have their own favorites, which may be
better.
The problem is that analyzing large libraries trying to find the "best" one
to start with, and trying to remove dependencies with code  that may be best
left out, seems even less appealing than designing from scratch...

Basically, none of this is rocket science - so both these approaches can
lead to a reasonable outcome.
