To be honest, on these issues, I'm not invested in winning an argument about it. I can see good arguments for why this would be beneficial, and I think they make sense. But I also know there's good arguments for why this would not be, and I can think they make sense too. I want to see both sides represented here, because I think it's interesting, and seeing both sides is good. That's good enough for me.

If in five years (or whatever) no distros use this new tool, it's had zero impact on things, I'll go "damn, tptacek was right," and that's an outcome I am totally fine with.
