This sub-thread started with:

> Zstd is worth a lot of other's people's pain.

The (philosophical/theoretical) debate/discussion is about the 'quantity' of "people's pain", and how much of it is it worth for having Zstd (and other things that have come out of Meta/FB). What is the 'trade-off' (if any) between getting good and accepting evil? (Assuming "good" and "evil" even exist.)

First, it started with grandparent stating:

"none of those contributions are worth the pain that they have caused."

Which a little excessive and I take personal issue with never, all, and none when someone writes that -- out of principle.

Second, are we talking about its quantity or quality, because I posit that big numbers aint everything.
