I completely understand the shear frustration one must endure when managing any open source library&amp;#x2F;framework. There is a huge sense of entitlement among consumers... but this should not translate to any responsibility on the part of the author. Throughout this process, I&amp;#x27;ve seen comments about how simply forking the repo would be considered hostile... yet, I always felt that was part of the beauty of open source. Use what is available, and &amp;quot;stand on the shoulders of giants&amp;quot; when you wish to see something go in a different direction. Instead of viewing it as, &amp;quot;what you built is terrible, here, let me fix that for you&amp;quot;. We should strive to see it as a tree that has much potential, some branches may be more favored. Some may collapse. Alliances may be formed. But it&amp;#x27;s all in the name of building cool stuff. I get how some may consider that nothing would ever get finished using that model... but, therein is again, the beauty of open source. If someone wants to &amp;quot;finish&amp;quot; something, they are free to do so.</text></comment>
