Thanks for sharing. This makes a lot of sense to me. I’m not close to kernel development but any change to an established entity impacts the interest of people in it. So a primary obstacle change encounters is that it may diminish power people obtained in the establishment. These people, while well intentioned in pushback, have difficulty separating benefit to the entity and benefit to themselves. So it takes a lot of work to impact change, and I understand the distance it has from normal technical work.
