so pretty stable, and you're mad that other people won't do free work for you to implement a mostly unused spec.

There's a lot of this kind of entitlement around.

Trash other peoples' work as "playground" activity, and demand they work on something else for free.

Churn implies upheaval, breaking things that used to (and ought to) work. I don't see examples of that from the first few commits I examined.
