You seem to miss the point where the you avoid breaking the system for any
users not on the bleeding edge.

You technically adept guys can keep on hacking away, jumping through hoops
and building your stuff as you see fit.
Nobody will come take your steal your code away in the night. Feel free to
keep on working on it, until implementing it
doesn't break "old users" do the engineering work and improve your
implementation.

There are so many seemingly dead code projects around this linuxkpi stuff
that you guys just pump out code and abandon
inconsistent lack of documentation, lack of testing, it's just a huge mess.

Work on cleaning all that stuff up and bring something sensible to the
table, you cannot put onus on the core team to maintain
that mess going forward because you're not capable of doing it yourselves.
