The problem with his criticism is that he seems to think the present decisions the authors have made, for an 8 month old OS, are written in stone. It's like reviewing a car while it's still being assembled at the factory.

Fuchsia is probably 2 or more years away from an Alpha release. Things are changing at a rapid pace.

No, I got that idea. But, for his examples, he mentions existing solutions could have been lifted.

If the suboptimal stuff was existing, I take your point. Perhaps it was straight from LK?

But writing something new, that has flaws, as a placeholder...when something better exists already, and has a compatible license...that seems fair game to question.

Especially if it's something that has tentacles and creates dependencies. Placeholders sometimes don't stay as such.
