> It would feel arrogant to compare Mosh to TeX, but it doesn't seem that crazy to imagine that some software might reach a point where it has accomplished 95% of its goals The difference that I think makes this comparison invalid is that Mosh is a communication tool, whereas Tex is running locally on files. We (as a community) have learned that any software with a networked attack surface slowly gets less secure over time - you (almost always) need to provide ongoing security fixes to maintain the desired level of security. To be clear - I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm an intermittent user of Mosh and I can believe that no holes have been found that need patching (and that the team would in short order if necessary). It is, however, a signal that users of software look for. I like the idea in a sibling comment of the "documentation" commit just saying "we're still here" to reassure people.
