> instead of having dozens of separate projects (GNOME, PipeWire, systemd, Wayland, ...) be combined by yet another project (a distribution), which is (in my view) a major cause of the fragile nature, slow pace of development (it's hard to request features if you have to spend minutes to hours figuring out where they need to be requested from!), and other problems it faces, Haiku is a one-project-governs-all: a single development team for the core operating system and userspace ("desktop environment"), with an interconnected distribution ecosystem.

So there will never be 3rd party software? Not even a GNU Emacs? Surely you're using GNU GCC, aren't you?
