The development of in-house Drupal distributions for new projects has been observed within various companies. However, concerns have arisen regarding the maintenance and feature bloat of such distributions. Authoritatively advocating for the practice, Oliver Davies advises meticulous maintenance by dedicating adequate time, emphasizing a lean approach with minimal necessary functionality. Furthermore, the suggestion of utilizing a template composer.json file for new projects, delineating particular modules and themes to include without excessive overhead, offers a streamlined alternative. These recommendations serve as pragmatic guidance for companies considering or currently managing in-house Drupal distributions, promoting efficient and sustainable development practices.
