I'm glad TBL is working on this stuff, but at this point I can't help but feel like this is doomed to a very slow uptake, like how Semantic Web and IPv6 are still emerging technologies. I am reminded of esr on Plan 9:

> Unix creaks and clanks and has obvious rust spots, but it gets the job done well enough to hold its position. There is a lesson here for ambitious system architects: The most dangerous enemy of a better solution is an existing codebase that is just good enough.

It ultimately depends on the governments. They have been quite proactive in mandating the end of some technologies in the fields of TV and light bulbs. Not sure why they are dragging their feets so much with IPv6, now that it has finally been finalized in 2017, and even Europe ran out of IPv4 addresses in 2020 ?

@wcerfgba That is such a great quote about unix and an existing codebase being good enough! Do you know the source? I'd love to refer to that in my presentations at work, etc. Thanks!

Parent mentioned it was "esr" or Eric S. Raymond.

I guess I read too quickly, and my eyes glanced right over that. Thanks!!
