Plus there’s the added benefit to their paying customers to know that we have an out if needed. It reduces friction in starting to use the product.

When you have multiple implementations, you effectively have a double check on the protocol design. This should make the project as a whole significantly better engineered. It’s quite clever from Tailscale.
