So branch. Nobody is forcing you to add the requested features to your main product... this will also encourage people to write good late-bound software - where extensions are trivial and play well together.
- sofal 18y agoIt's easy to branch the source code, but harder to branch the community, which can be one of the most important things. Sometimes a request for a feature comes with an implicit desire that it be in the main branch that everyone uses. Having good late-bound software would definitely ameliorate that.
- andreyf 18y agoRight, I think when we starting making software the right way, most "features" will be most easily implementable as extensions.
