Oh come on, you know the answer, do you like provocations?
Shall I remind how many people are unhappy e.g., with the Haskell
Numerical classes hierarchy?... Stagnation is stagnation.

I guess I'm too used to Java's class library, which seems to change every 12 hours or so. That's no fun at all! :-/

If something is broken, it should be fixed. If something isn't broken, I see no reason to change it. You might call that "stagnation", but I view it as something else...
