Sunday morning. I open the issue tracker of a software project.
One of the issues: "Library Y is outdated, you should use library Z".
A dev replies: "Y is still perfectly valid, and it’s the only one that ensures compatibility with other OSes like the BSDs".
Response: "Nobody uses those OSes anymore, and there’s no reason to - we have Linux!"
The dev simply closed the issue.Great way to start the day.

Someone should fork and support

@RadioAzureus the dev closed the issue as thinks we should continue to support - so no need to fork

@stefano I like that developer. It is better to keep support for other OSes and try to update or fix library Y than to simply move to Library Z without caring about people that want to use another OS. That's one reason why I like the people behind XLibre trying to maintain X11 further.

@stefano I kind of hope that the issue was closed properly as INVALID.
Now, I suppose there's little actually *stopping* someone from forking to remove support for non-Linux OSes…
