This is really the crux of the biscuit. We don't want to add more
"stuff" that is unique or different and thus requires special handling
in the future.
What people choose to do in plugins is their own business, but in the
core a statement of a one correct way which is adhered to, will help
to alleviate backwards compatibility problems in the future.
Plugins that fail to be resilient in the face of stability in the
public API of the core should be considered buggy. Those that rely on
behavior in private code should be considered buggy. Otherwise the
domain of backwards compatibility responsibility in the core becomes
far too large: It takes on win32 proportions and there's just not that
many core developers in the TiddlyWiki community.
Requiring a large domain of backwards compatibility constrains
TiddlyWiki's ability to evolve and move into the future. And
everything has to evolve.
