You are not wrong. But history also somewhat shows that appeasement is even worse.

> because "maintenance"

I like those scare quotes. They really show the lack of respect for the people who actually maintain the stuff you use daily, most of them in their free time, including the ones that get paid (all the paid maintainers I know go well beyond the work hours, by a big margin).

X forwarding works on Wayland compositors that ship XWayland. Just like any other X11 application that does not rely on weird things like intercepting all your keypresses, capturing the content of other applications, etc.

Hold on. CVS?

Not sure how this relates to desktop, but from the article it seems that Arm got some nice involvement going:

> Another huge change is Arm officially joining the party. We were not only given access to some documentation, but they also took an active part in the review process and two developers are currently flagged as co-maintainers of the kernel driver. Some would say that this was already the case when Panfrost got merged, but we have strong reasons to believe Arm's involvement is going to grow outside the kernel space this time.

Except that it never happened.

> I am filled with rage just thinking about how we took a fundamental part of the Internet, simple enough that anyone can implement an HTTP server,

Ahahahahahah, yes, anyone can implement a HTTP server, just badly. HTTP/1.1 is quite complex, the spec alone spans over eight RFCs: if you can implement all of that I doubt the HTTP/2 serialization is much of a concern. :P

Right. In my opinion it's even worse. The thing that piss me off about Spock is that ignoring the emotional component is a very illogic thing to do. :)

Important to whom?

Maybe "In previous Rust versions you could already define traits, ..."?

Right, shaming mothers does more damage than anything else, even if breastfeeding was a big deal (and I think it is, sort of).

Doesn't that applies to the kernel, libc, openssl, the X server, desktop environments, and web browsers?

Arguably, if the situation is the one described, I'm not sure what "the best maintainer" is. :(

Changing name and leaving the old project eventually die or be subsumed by the fork (like egcs did with gcc) would have probably been a better choice.

Arguably, SJ-related topics get their share of downvotes too.

But yeah, I agree with you on the fact that HN is mostly an echo chamber. I'm just less sure that we're hearing the same echo. :)
