Re: Don't worry

"Now, there's non-stop freakout about Linux possibly "collapsing into a stable mono-culture""

Can't speak for others, I'm not actually freaking out as such, just trying to understand the dynamics at a whole system level.

FOSS has been pumping out lines of code for - what - 30 odd years without much in the way of an overall plan (bazaar c.f. cathedral &c) except building something that keeps working. Complex systems with strong linkage between elements will tend to exhibit a limited range of behaviours.

A dose of mono-culture might be for the best - we'll have to see.
