I see no contradiction? Bitrot is caused by some other project moving. Of course the niche projects will suffer less from it if they incorporate less innovations.

We have a liar problem, and it turns out a fascist problem, when it comes to the X vs. Wayland kerfuffle, which shouldn't even be a thing.

Your level of antagonism is unwarranted.
