Except that web-technologies are specified and not in constant evolution. Freenet's inter-node protocol is not specified yet and that's on purpose. > Or a XyzBSD protocol guy saying they only want XyzBSD TCP/IP implementations > out there connecting to "the internet". > What's your problem exactly? I can always say that I don't *want* other implementations; that won't prevent them from appearing... and I am aware of that. The standard corporate response to that kind of concerns is to make every new version of the official client incompatible with previous. The original debate was about "why should we switch to git": I have just explained why I don't receive the "makes branching/forking easier" as an important point for now. > You build a distributed network, you have to make it robust for anything > and everything connecting to it. > I'm fed up with people telling me what I have to do. If you can't understand that we have only a limited amount of resources and time, well... it's not even worth arguing. For your information, "robust for anything and everything" doesn't exist.
