@hittitezombierandom thoughts @kyle_pegasusKyle @davidgerard @EF @Tubemeister @TheEntityEntitas Bold assumption that a FLOSS system will ever finish as opposed to hit the 30% done mark at which point there is enough tech debt and complexity accumulated from absorbing the actual variety in the user base without cheating that hacking on it is no longer "fun" so someone gets the bright idea to rewrite it all "so it' simpler" and restart the cycle.
