no plan for federation, and no guardrails to stop the slow slide into bloat
What would be an example of a guardrail to stop the slow slide into bloat?
I’m not asking for a detailed explanation, but I simply can’t understand what sort of feature you’re imagining.
I sort of get the idea that maybe you just mean that you’re already seeing the beginnings of bloat, but if there was something that could actually stop bloat, that sounds very interesting.

I’m not an expert, but my understanding is that federation adds significant complexity to the system. Even simple features take careful planning, and there’s a natural friction that prevents new features from being added carelessly.
