This is obviously in an open source environment. You never needed to cajole them into fixing problems, you could just fix it yourself. That was always an option. That's literally the entire point of open source.

It seems like quite a tower of babel just waiting to happen.. All those libraries that once had thought go into tangled consequences of supporting new similar features and once had ways to identity for their security updates needed will all just be defective clones with 5%-95% compatibility for security exploits and support for integrations that are mostly right but a little hallucinated?

The cost of forking open source code was always effectively zero.

Given the supposed quality of top flight models there ought to be a lot more people forking open source projects, implementing missing features and releasing "xyz software that can do a and b".

Somehow it's not really happening.

This is an unethical take, and long-term and at scale, an unsustainable/impractical one. This kind of mindset results in tool fragmentation, erosion of trust, and ultimately worse quality in software.
