Sadly not how the FOSS world works any longer.
All that matters is the "shiny" (often wrapped in some kind of "social consciousness" claptrap), and those of us that has come to rely on existing behavior has to either suck it up, move on, or fork (And even forks struggle)...
- amaranth 9y agoI don't remember the FOSS world _ever_ working like you seem to think it should. The CADT Model[1] isn't exactly new and it wasn't really new when jwz coined the term either. Only the kernel, POSIX-y things, and enterprise software provides what you're asking for. And forks of Firefox struggle because writing a browser is really really hard and they can't keep up with the changes needed. [1] https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html
