Developing a new standard, increments number of standards by 1 :blobcatthinkingglare:
But making an extension to old standard, multiplies number of standards by 2* (all combinations before, with and without extension) :blobcatheadache:
*Even more, if extension allows to be implemented partially or differently
Conclusion: XMPP has at least 2⁴⁷⁷ standards and all of them sucks
