+
+I think that's a little unfair in the representation of this problem (I
+won't comment if this *is* an overall trend).
+
+I think there has been a significant push recently to break from
+"traditions" that are holding things back. If something doesn't work *by
+design* then coming up with an alternative way of working and
+deprecating the old way seems like a perfect way of driving progress IMO.
+
+The "I can't be bothered to fix things properly" could easily be applied
+to the current status quo, which has a carefully ordered sequence of
+otherwise parallelisable tasks and a careful placement of certain key
+files, just because no one can "be bothered" to address the underlying
+design issues.
+
+I guess it's likely just a matter of perspective/opinion as to which
+philosophy "can't be bothered".
