It's easy to point fingers and assert that the world would be better if other people acted according to your will instead of their own free will, harder to look at your own actions and contemplate what you could to to improve things. To risk making the same mistake myself: Instead of calling people who owe you nothing incompetent, you could offer to help... Just a thought. It's the advice that I've tried to follow myself, and I think it's helped improve the world a lot more than insults ever would.

I think this discussion is getting away from the general topic, but you were recently someone who would attack other development teams trying to "improve the world" in their own way with even more harsh terms and toxic insults. I don't think polite discourse is your strong suit either when you are known for pointing fingers at people that fork your project.

What I seem to be getting from your posts is that mostly every change is a consensus risk, and that development should move faster or at the same pace, but not slower. You claim that moving slower would potentially result in less testing, which makes no sense. You can simply have a feature or optimization on a test branch, encourage users to mess with it (by actually interacting with the feature, as awemany was doing), possibly even with some sort of bounty scheme, and once sufficient time has passed and lots of different people and companies in the industry have tried to break it, you merge it in. I can't fathom how moving slower wouldn't help here.
