@ee11a5dff40c19a555f41fe42b48f00e618c91225622ae37b6c2bb67b76c4e49 It's actually okay if interoperability is broken at this stage. We are not even close to critical mass. Compatibility issues are not going to kill us at this stage because we frankly don't have a lot to lose yet. I think actually the opposite is true - if we refuse to offer a better experience because we are too afraid to break things, that will be a greater detriment to us in the long term. It depends on what it is, and good judgement is needed. But it is a balance, not an absolute.

Also, Linus is a visionary leading a centralized project. It's different.
