No it is not (stupid and irresponsible). It just increases the
pressure to make it right.
Standards must deserve the approval of their users instead of
being decided by committee. Users should vote with their feet
when necessary.
Irresponsible and stupid is accepting any thing that is imposed
on us by a BigCo. or by a "standards body" without questioning
it:
- Irresponsible because that is a way of not taking
responsibility for the quality of the tools and standards
used in one's work - and hence the work itself;
- Stupid because one ends up in bigger trouble that way.
If we would all agree using whatever is pushed stronger in our
direction, we would all be using Microsoft tools.
Have fun,
