Well, both that and the ability to work on a project that requires you to run a toolchain whose minimum barrier to entry wrt resource use and developer experience makes the C++ ecosystem that preceded it seem lean and inclusive.

Why not fork it then? You don't need to be able to set the agenda for a project if you just fork it and rename it: you can now set the agenda for your fork and ignore the other project, while not having to spend time reinventing the wheel.

As if that wouldn't end up with the same style of "why don't you just" comments?

This is a slippery slope argument.

This is a slippery slope argument.

Me saying there's not a distinction between forking and writing your own project from the "why don't you just" perspective has nothing to do with a slippery slope.
