Im just going to chip in as a non-coder;
I THINK many users (and programmers) consider this platform 100% as a hobby, and approach it as such. A tweak/patch might work in favor for some, speeding the OS up or whatnot.
Or it might make the OS a labyrinth of version numbers of libs/systems file that might make troubleshooting harder if something doesnt work.
This might make it harder for people on this forum to give advice regarding issues since people are running with xxx versions.
So for my own use, I stick with the official versions of Workbench, but I do understand that the more tech savvy can find "unofficial" libs/systemsfile useful for their use.
Cosmos seems to have the best intent behind his efforts. Maybe it could be compared to any hobbist with for example cars. They are often modified by hobbists far beyond the basic factory spesifications. And if the owner/user finds it enhances his expirience I can see why he gets a bit offended when his efforts is not being appriciated.
Espesially since the OS progress appears to be rather slow (understandable considering the manpower), its tempting to use the "if you want it done, you gotta do it yourself!" approach.
Thomas Richters big picture approach makes more sense to me tho from a stability point of view. Keep versions "official" for predictable performance.
Anyhow, thats just my non-tech savvy point of view. I might be talking our of my arse
