"Our" core base libs? Obviously there's a difference in opinion
between various contributors to these core libs. Consistency may or may
not be the ultimate aim, and the growth of the project may depend on
changes... But whichever way it goes, it would be up to those who are
working on the code and doing real contributions on those libs - growth
as the market decides.
If it's someone or else's dictated views, and that does not address the
concerns of current or potential developers, then you may well find this
becoming a very small project indeed, or simply remaining the elitist niche
it's been for so very long.
