The corollary to this is that the text is difficult to change for precisely the same reason that people dislike it: it holds legal baggage. If it were "just" some text, you could ignore it. But it's text that is related to contracts and agreements that would need to be renegotiated and audited and more I'm not thinking of.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoYes, that is the process we are talking about. It didn't suddenly become this hard when I voiced my criticism: it was the same level of difficulty from the beginning, and will not get any easier by simply ignoring my criticisms. Progress must include work: otherwise it is no longer progress.
- joshuamorton 3y agoBut the problems are not "just changing some text" they're renegotiating contracts and making technical modifications and... My objection isn't to your opinion that we should make progress or change, it is to trivializing the complexity of that change.
