The thing that #Framework doesn't seem to get is that they are a premium brand, and every premium brand is an identity brand. Identity brands don't work because they're cheaper, or better. They don't generally follow market rules. The work because people want to be associated with the values that the brand is associated with.
Apple really pioneered this, making people think of them as the company for creative artist. They were able to sell hardware with absurd markups because they weren't selling hardware, they were selling an identity.
Now, the thing is that all identities are political. If you have an identity brand, you have a political brand. You can't really dodge that.

@pendell consensus and community input are important for foundational systems (eg display, audio, network, date time, etc) so that essential functionality is stable and implemented well enough that the rest of the ecosystem can be built on it, but it's not really important whether or not Crazy Bob's Chronometer Bauble fits into some grand brand vision

@pendell I disagree, this was a problem that was created by trying to have a unified vision (it's a gnome app using a gnome service and it works fine if you use gnome but i don't use gnome), and if it was designed to function well stand-alone it wouldn't have had this problem and wouldn't have required any broader coordination with anyone else's vision beyond the passive agreement that comes from using standard interfaces
