It is a die hard philosophy that makes things much harder than they
ought to be many times.

The said thing is that this really should be a philosophy for
libraries. I got some figures yesterday about the number of
overlapping libraries in GNU/Linux. I got it from a person that
decided to leave GNU/Linux since the overlapping libraries makes the
quality control impossible and therefore makes it hard for GNU/Linux
to move forward.
