Yeah, to clarify, that was how I took it. I'm not concerned about Redox OS failing to get adoption. And I love that they're exploring new things and following their interests.

I was thinking more as someone with ADHD and widespread interests. It feels a bit like saying "I'm learning the oboe. But first I want to learn how to make an oboe." Both are cool goals, but if you do the second you may never get to the first in a meaningful way.

That may be okay, I was just intending to express surprise at a detour that could last a significant fraction of the development teams' lives. Especially since as the default file system, delays or breakages in the filesystem can delay or break the OS project as a whole.
