While the fissure you describe as a guaranteed outcome is certainly likely in many such scenarios, you're missing the point: Implementing a standard without regard for the beliefs of other implementors is an action that supports a standard. Refusing to work with others does not implicitly harm a standard. You assert that refusing to cooperate with another implementor is guaranteed to harm a standard. It is not guaranteed at all. DJB has not destroyed DNS. BoringSSL has not destroyed TLS. A thousand reimplementations of standards in Rust have not destroyed a thousand standards. You clearly believe that Cloudflare is acting in bad faith, and are constructing a worldview out of assumptions that you declare instead are facts. While I respect your right to hold those views, I do not respect your declaration of future outcomes as fact.
