If you want to calcify your compute layer, don’t be surprised when the rest of the industry moves on, and possibly does things that aren’t compatible anymore? If they want to keep running that software, I think it’s their responsibility to either evolve their software to keep up, or deal with the fact that they’ll have to run their own old version/fork when the time comes. If they contribute to the kernel, I would have thought their perspective would have been represented on one of these threads by now, as they seem to get posted at pretty much every event hahaha. Maybe they do and I totally missed it as well.
