musing about the acceptance of dysfunctional and ludicrous processes in our daily lives.

someone posts about the subotimality of ipv4->ipv6 mapping only being in rust nightly for 11 years. none of the repliers acknowledge 'yes, this process must change' they have seemingly internalised it t the background, like cars or houses zipping by when you drive on the highway. imo by passively accepting such a shitshow people normalise dysfunctional and ludicrous processes everywhere.

draw a line people! its not ok for a proposal to sit for 11 years with no decision. its not ok for proposals to be made via github pr when there already more than 5000 open prs!

(to be clear, i don't use rust and idkaf what rust decides. its just a glaring example. so if you are a rust defender and feeling the need to come in and defend rust in the replies, that means you missed the point, save us all the time and please just fuck off without replying)
