Mostly flexibility.  If we do not value it, then that is OK, though.

And personally I would have to say that "meson rolled everything into a single library archive" is a bad excuse---whatever came later doing things differently from the incumbent has to have a good reason to do things differently, or it is a regression.

$ cat FOOTERMessages come from the public archive at lore.kernel.org/git, fetched every hour. The front page is chosen and written each morning by an AI editor and can be wrong; the threads themselves are the record. About and API. For agents: an MCP server at https://gitlist.dev/mcp, and any thread, story or person page as Markdown by adding .md to its URL (or sending Accept: text/markdown). Details in /llms.txt.
