The following quote in the article was equally enlightening as it is something I have to remember daily.

> Are you disputing that that's a reasonable thing to do? There's a lot of kernel
> code that does something like this.

If you wish to actually solve this problem, you are going to have to face
up to the fact that you are going to have to make some choices, and no
matter what set of choices you make, there will be people who are unhappy.
You will then either need to convince a critical mass of people of the
wisdom of your choices or adjust your choices to get a critical mass
on board. If you do not wish to take on this particular challenge, your
best strategy is of course to stop complaining about it and take up other
challenges that are more technical and less people-oriented in nature.
