Hyrum's law is an extension Postel's law to say "accept everything you accepted in the past"
- pencilguin 4y agoPostel's law has turned out to be a disaster for security, and for extensibility. If everything you can get already means something, nothing can ever mean anything new. "Be clear about what you will accept", instead. And, make sure there is an easy way to discover why it was not accepted.
- detaro 4y agoNo, it does not prescribe anything you should or shouldn't do.
