ok here is my take on it:
- I would like to have a mini kernel where date time is just good
enough for what the system needs
- then people load the framework they want and yes I love aconcagua and
chalten but there is also chronos
so you see I would prefer that people pick the one they like.
Now people can have a different opinion and I would like to hear them :)
