  And who will make sure that the program actually works properly in that one-off hacked up, “press spacebar to heat up CPU” configuration you have? Linux userspace is buggy, and I think this very-minimalistic approach sort of grown out from frustration about that. And they may be right, maintainers really don’t have the resources to do much better, especially when most frameworks they depend on has their own share of fatal, almost impossible to fix bugs.
