because, unfortunately, it is a main obstacle for moving forward.
Or maybe not? Maybe we should start making amazing stuff right now?
I really like doing amazing stuff!
But i see, that to make something i need to make a tons of patches
into different parts of system, or rewrite them from scratch. Only
then i can start doing something. But wait! Each time i changing
something in core libraries, it could break something else in
someone's else code.
So, i should start a fork, otherwise, my stuff can never see the
light, or it would never have a chances to be as much amazing as i
like to if i keep running old horse.
