Agreed on all points. I believe that the mistake was simply that
there wasn't any need to hold hands for those who we are enabling to
move faster and more independently. We do, in fact, need to transfer
ownership gracefully. Thanks so much for writing the plugin for zmq,
that is a huge win for zmq developers. I can't speak for oslo directly,
but it seems like that plugin should land under oslo's direct stewardship
and then we can move forward with this.
