Learnings from the FUSE 3 breakage

Major Linux distributions as of today are unpredictable as targets for independent software vendors trying to publish applications because they are lacking guarantees regarding what software is part of the software stack supported by the operating system vendor.

Reasonably policies would be needed to improve the situation and give outside software developers targeting Linux distributions enough lead time to anticipate changes.

Example

https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/releases/tag/fuse-3.0.0 was released in December 2016. Now, 5 years later, we are seeing this new major version as a problem, which goes like this:

SegHaxx

; vi:ft=nasm

cpu 8086
org 0x0

	jmp start
	rulz db 'seg rulz ok ',0

start:	cli ; disable interrupts because lolbugs
	mov ax,0x7c0 ; BIOS loads code at 0000:7C00

The Rise of "Worse is Better"

By Richard Gabriel

I and just about every designer of Common Lisp and CLOS has had extreme exposure to the MIT/Stanford style of design. The essence of this style can be captured by the phrase "the right thing." To such a designer it is important to get all of the following characteristics right:

Simplicity-the design must be simple, both in implementation and interface. It is more important for the interface to be simple than the implementation.

• Correctness — the design must be correct in all observable aspects. Incorrectness is simply not allowed.
• Consistency — the design must not be inconsistent. A design is allowed to be slightly less simple and less complete to avoid inconsistency. Consistency is as important as correctness.
