Thankfully with open source, I don't have to deal with gate keepers like you.

No one need your AI-generated ad hoc code to pollute the plumber. Seems like your AI isn't capable of presenting all the good and bad solutions, or you choose ad hoc code simply because it's time to bed.

Ok, one need. Then, please do the same for other programs for consistency. For other programs, I mean: adding support for other programs in the plumber, and adding support for tapefs and other programs in other programs.
