Creating an alternative UI is rather uncontroversial. The plumbing doesn't need replacement. Jujutsu for example, seems to be popular.

- iraqmtpizza 3y agoHa, replacement? You can't even get them to fix bugs. If you fix a bug in a unix command you'll break every script in existence and bring the world down. It's idiotic. The user's a file! The internet's a file! Keyboard is a file! What are checkboxes? This is a volunteer project! You can't expect us to include UI in the OS! We'll just bikeshed forever so sorry, write your own, lol.
- withinboredom 3y agoGetting a bug fixed in rsync, pulled down to LTS Ubuntu took a single email. I’m not sure what you are going on about.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoCongratulations. You just broke userspace.
- beeboobaa 3y agoYou clearly have no idea what you are chattering about. The saying "Don't break userspace" is for the kernel. It has nothing to do with userspace programs potentially affecting other userspace programs.

- sgarland 3y agoI found and fixed a bug in Debian’s vixie-cron where if the system time clock changed without restarting crond, it wouldn’t modify its runs until the next DST event. This was well-received without complaint or concern for breaking people’s [insane] workflows that may be relying on that behavior.
