- marcinzm 6y agoThe Linux ecosystem is managed by people and convincing dozens (or hundreds) of people to support what I write (which is required for an API to be anything but a N+1 toy) is no small effort. I play enough politics in my day job and have little desire to do so in my free time. As I see it, it'd take someone with a lot of political connections and political capital in the Linux ecosystem to be able to pull it off successfully. I have neither.
