More important than forward porting, is respecting the design decisions
a huge community has agreed upon. Of course, when you become part
of that community, you can try to shift these designs towards your goals,
but trying to force them is just ridiculous.

That said, I do believe spice can play a essential role in making us go
forward, but the attitude towards it has to change quite a bit.
