What exactly is a libyear?

I ran libyear on a .net Framework 4.8.1 project, and it said it was 20.7 libyears behind.

What exactly does that quantify?

1 libyear is the equivalent of a single dependency's installed version being released 1 year prior to the newest version, so your 20 libyear project could mean 5 dependencies that are 4 years behind each, or 10 that are 2 each, etc.

See libyear.com for more details!
