@kkarhan @msinilo @railmeat @rygorous But even that is missing the point in some of these cases. Many people don't want code contributions to their open source projects from outsiders (or perhaps from anyone). But it's probably worth "standardizing" some of the messaging around this in the way we do with licenses so the expectations can be super clear to everyone.

I can understand why some projects are sus about external code.
#OpenBSD for example reached it's high level of #Security by being rather reluctant to changes...
But I think a lot of devs stopped asking "why?" and saying "No!" when it's necessary...
That being said I'd rather yeet something than having to deal with shit that breaks that is maintained by nonchalant assholes that refuse to acknowledge their responsibility or the fact that "just recompile it" is not the correct answer to them bricking Userspace...
- Yes that was a vent against #GlibC in specific and the whole #GNU project in general. And yes I do maintain a GNU-free #toybox+#musl / #linux distro known as @OS1337 and I have no shame to this self-promo.
