    initial v1  
    22
    33I am just against software bloat and increased resource usage for no good reason (I can understand introducing ICU or package_fs because it give obvious practical benefits but it is not so for splitting processes or compositing). I like Haiku with low resource usage and small number of processes. It is also clear and easy to understand.
     4
     5When changing something that can increase resource usage or complexity, it should be considered first from user perspective:
     6
     71. ICU: users from different countries and cultures get ability to use interface in their native language, proper date formats etc.
     8
     92. package_fs: it give ability to port and distribute a lot of new software for Haiku. Currently most Haiku activity is done at HaikuPorts.
     10
     113. Process splitting: nothing is changed from user perspective except increased memory usage and confusing duplicate processes in ProcessController.
     12
     134. GUI compositing: slow window rendering will change a bit, but memory usage will grow dramatically. Various GFX effects are not popular nowadays, mainstream OS GUI are minimalistic and can be done without compositing.
