Shims for old systems

[Attila Lendvai]

> The shims idea is interesting, but isn't it a lot of trouble to make and maintain a shim (which has to somehow indicate where to find the source files for the library), compared to forking a system?

+1

there's already the sharplispers group for taking over unmaintained
systems (not to be confused with hostile systems):

“Tact is a skill that can turn brutal honesty into just honesty. It's
a skill that develops with practice, and one that's harder to use when
emotions are running high. But you can't go towards someone with a
verbal fist and expect a hug in return. When method matches intention,
outcomes are much more peaceful.”
