Software is never complete. And even if it was the world around it moves on.

Will you never want HDR, colorspace support, and whichever feature is next? Even if that is somehow the case, I would think most people aren't software archivists.

There's some basic software that can be seen as tools and sometimes are even called as such. They are like a hammer and while it might be cool for some people to have a hammer that has WiFi, Internet and a small 4k screen included (so that you can watch netflix), many don't like that additional functionality and all they really need and want is a hammer.

> Will you never want HDR

For the record, I do actually work on the analysis and processing of hdr and multi- and hyper-spectral images. Using 8 bit rgb colors on my monitor is still alright, and I'm very happy with X (and I would probably still be happy with wayland, I really don't care).
