Just hopping in to say : it's laughable to claim that open source projects have "hard-coded" anything. It's literally impossible to hard code things when anyone can download the source, edit it, compile it and run it on any machine they own

> Hard coding (also hard-coding or hardcoding) is the software development practice of embedding data directly into the source code of a program or other executable object, as opposed to obtaining the data from external sources or generating it at runtime.
