I’m curious how software can be created and evolve over time. I’m afraid that at some point, we’ll realize there are issues with the software we’re using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite.

Are there any instances of this happening? Where something is designed with a flaw that doesn’t get realized until much later, necessitating scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch?

    At this point they could make it the best thing in the world. Won’t ever fix the resentment they earned against us NVidia users, might fix some of the resentment from x11 folks… but that it needs a separate XWayland will always be a pain point. That’s a kluge.
