Oh, I’m sure they considered that all right. Everybody with any experience 
of Free Software can recall famous instances of project forks -- both ones 
which ended well, and ones which didn’t. They’ve always known that those 
who disagreed with some of their decisions could fork their code.

It’s certain users (of whom we see too many examples right here on Usenet) 
who don’t seem to appreciate this point. And who get continually surprised 
when it is pointed out.

I don't remember reading anything to that effect, but you might be right.

There is now a fork of X.org called Xlibre, which I'm hoping will remain
viable for some time to come.

Nevertheless, the fact a project can be forked doesn't really negate the
disruption when your DE or software suddenly changes on you.  The
attitudes of the developers still matter, and it is worthwhile to build
your digital castles on lands maintained by those who share your
philosophy.

Indeed, the "ability to fork" does not negate the negative outcomes of 
the original project "moving the controls around" and "given them new 
pictures and names" with every 0.x release at the whim of the 
"artists".

The real world equivalent would be if one's car's UI completely changed 
with each new model year.  One year there is a steering wheel, on the 
left, with the gearshift in the center console.  The very next year 
there's a pilot joystick instead of a steering wheel, and the shifter 
is now a motorcycle style twist handle at the top of the joystick.  The 
third year you get "feet operated steering pedals" and "hand powered 
brakes" via a center console lever, with the gearshift being a slide 
lever embedded in the door, etc.

Gearshift? Only cars from the last millennium have that.

There is still the lever (or whatever) to select forward (drive), reverse, and
park.  Even EVs have at least forward and reverse.

(I think some sports cars and some heavy trucks, still have manual 
transmissions.)

There are manual gearboxes of many kinds. For an US version,
google for 'Kenworth gear shift pattern'.

The question of gear shift begins to be moot with electric and
hybrid cars anyway.

Like bicycles with 21 speeds a lot of those never were used unless you 
were pulling stumps. By the '90s most over the road trucks were 9-speed.

I drove a Volvo White that had an Eaton overdrive transmission with a 
different pattern.

1    2

3    4

I never got entirely used to it and would blow shifts if I was tired or 
preoccupied. I've driven a lot of variations on the H pattern including 3-
on-the-tree but that was different. There was a lever on the gearshift so 
the high range was the same pattern.  There was another L position that 
was seldom used.

US sales of manual transmissions have been tiny for years, and a lot of 
makers, even if they offer manual for the European/Bittish markets in 
the same model, simply don't offer the "manual option" for their US 
version of the same models.

Automatics have all but outsold manuals in the US into oblivion.  And 
say what you like about the change, it did occur due to "sales volumes" 
rather than a govt. fiat for one over the other.

Of course. Americans alkways found driving a stick shift a bit of an

I had no idea automatic transmission had taken over vehicles
worldwide. So is that now prevalent in new cars even in places where
automatic transmissions were an unusual sight?

It's been coming for a long time. My father did not like ATs and even in 
the '60s it was difficult to find a manual transmission outside of sport 
cars. After he died my mother went shopping for a new car. This was a 
woman who had taught her father to drive back in the '20s and I had to 
convince her she could drive an automatic. She caught on fast and also 
appreciated power steering and power brakes. 

I prefer manuals and my first Toyota Yaris was MT. when it was totaled by 
a snowplow I found I would have to order on to get a manual. I placed the 
order but had second thoughts that night. Japan was in the middle of their 
nuclear meltdown and it wasn't clear if they would ever build another car 
so I took what was on the lot.

I like 2-door hatchbacks, another thing that doesn't sell in the USA. In 
2020 when I brought the car in for an airbag recall I saw a leftover 2018. 
since Toyota no longer sells the Yaris in the US I bought it but it's AT 
too.

My '86 F150 is a manual but pickups were pickups back then, not SUVs with 
a mostly unused cargo bed. I don't know if they are all ATs now.

Of course ATs are different animals now than the 2 speed PowerSlides from 
the '50s. 

Then there was the Presto-Matic in my '49 Chrysler New Yorker.

Weird. I've seen new enough cars (at least from the very end of the last
century, or maybe even early 21st) with manual transmission. If that
required a special order, I've not heard of it (that of course does not
imply it didn't happen, though).

Other than US TV shows, I think some new buses may be the only places
where I've seen automatic transmission lately.

City Buses in Germany started having automatic transmissions in the
mid 1970ies.

Like all businesses US car dealers stock what sells. I had a '80 Camaro 
with a manual but when I traded it for a '82 Firebird it had an AT. The 
reason was the '82s were three door hatchbacks. They are another dog in 
the US market. I bought the 2018 Yaris because it was the last of the (US) 
3 door hatches. Even that year the 5 doors were rebranded Mazda 2s. I'm 
jealous because there is a GR Yaris that is a little screamer and it isn't 
available in the US. Toyota figured since the standard 3-doors never sold 
in the US they wouldn't even bother.

I had a Yaris two-door + hatchback. Manual tranny (heh heh). It was peppy and
zipped around on/off ramps.

It had handle-rollup windows, which was a bit irksome in the South Carolina
summer heat.

I had a saying: "The Yaris a good caris."

My nephew called it a "clown car".

The next Yaris's were purportedly a bit less durable, cheaply made.

One funny thing about that car and the manual Fiesta I bought... the
trolls trolled heavily about those cars. As if I cared about their
nonsense.
