The "insult to injury" in all this, is that I just want to write a plugin for Cockpit that's visually consistent with the Cockpit itself.
But I also can't use the Cockpit's copy of PatternFly, because they keep switching between versions, and evidently it's just 'too hard' to simply ship separate major versions as separate files; ergo you can't use Cockpit's copy, you have to ship your own. Originally on v3, then v4, v5, and now it's moving on v6.
They even complain about breakage within a major version, but yet this is all entirely within the same company (RedHat): https://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-221.html
Instead of writing my plugin, most of the time will probably be wasted with just dealing with the CSS UI framework itself.
And of course when I do npm install on the demo plugin, it pulls in 214MB for effectively a "hello world" project.
