I do find it funny that there are so many people on HN who work in a rapidly advancing cutting edge industry, but are also absolute stuck-in-the-mud curmudgeons who want everything to stay exactly as it was 4 decades ago.

Another example is dropping support for 32-bit x86. "But how will I run Linux on my PC from 2001?". Or the resistance to Rust in Linux because LLVM doesn't support the PDP-8 architecture.
