From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

under the definition of bike shedding in the Encyclopedia you'll find wayland the prime example. been waiting years on one pr for them to decide on the word "may" vs "will"
It drives me crazy. Just release it 18+months ago and iterate with versions, at least your users will have the feature in their hands.
It is kind of shooting at the ambulance, zoom needs to also adapt to the new API. The alternative is a completely non functional Wayland for videoconferencing for years... Unusable stable is not better than unstable usable IMHO at least you have a shot at fixing it for the second option.
I assume they went with way land as a compromise.
