This (by definition) the reality of every normalization/proxy layer, standard, etc. There’s always a cost for flexibility/freedom. What’s traded is when and by whom it’s paid.

That’s sounds so cool! I wonder how they get to do high throughput contributions. Is the structure very flat, or plugin based? I’ve always admired this project from the outside and glad to learn it’s doing so well. Looks like they have some

You could have said the same thing about building the Internet or the entire industrial control infrastructure. I mean, maybe they are negligent/incompetent, but I doubt that follows from your reasoning. You have a simple tradeoff to l
