"All software's shitty—so, better to start off with something, rather than nothing. This one seems like it's picking up some momentum, and it's got some promising underpinnings for federation in both code and intent. If it's too shitty, it should piss you off to show 'em how it's done from scratch. If it's shitty but workable, you should pitch in and fix it.
Otherwise, it's like complaining that you can't drive a Hummer across the first lame bit of rope they throw across a canyon to start the bridge.
And, you know, if it's just *too* shitty to live, no one will make it the definitive platform of anything
