OK, this is not just you using bad-faith arguments filtered through
the lens of a stochastic parrot. It's you using bad-faith arguments
filtered through the lens of a stochastic parrot, for the purpose of
using a forum intended for one purpose as a rallying cry for your
personal pet project.

This is just my opinion, but I feel like if you're the sort of person
who thinks that they have to use disingenuous means to manufacture
support for your specific project, then your project probably isn't
going to work out. If there's merit to the project, then you shouldn't
have any trouble arguing that merit honestly and openly. If it's a
good project that people need, then you should have no trouble
attracting talented people to help you out.

The fact that you felt that you had to smuggle it in is... revealing.

Thanks, but no thanks. Unless you intend to propose your reboot for
standardization (and you're somewhere far enough along for that to
actually be relevant), this is not the place to discuss it. We don't
need "updates".
