That's been quite possibly THE biggest thorn in my side discouraging me
from contributions. I've seen, and personally run into, plenty of cases
where a non-existent ideal implementation becomes the mortal enemy of
progress that already exists. I could ramble off a whole list of cases.
It's sooo much easier to just do my own thing and "get it done" than
waste effort on politics and playing the "is this worthwhile?" game with
people who prefer wasting their time defending stagnation over stepping
back and allowing others to just get problems fixed, even if not in an
perfectly ideal way.
I'll take a temporarily imperfect solution over vaporware ideals any day.
