I admire hobbyists who build their own kernels, but the size of modern systems is intimidating. Even something like a Bluetooth stack is bigger than historic kernels, and tends to require multiple people.
I think it's just the cost of compatibility? Tech collaboration is hard.
Dependabot takes a probabilistic approach to compatibility: how many other projects failed CI when upgrading?
It's neat, but I wonder what the base rate for spurious CI failures is.
