I also think that we have made the difference here. Knots is not an answer, and everyone knows that. But we are coming, and they know that too. Core is no longer dismissing us, they are frantically attempting to figure out what to do about us. That's where the soul searching and renewed attempts at performance engineering are coming from, directly. Previously they would have laughed off the filter bois, but this time is different. They have been sitting on their collective ass for a decade without even knowing it - despite being repeatedly told. Now they have had to face reality. Their performance blows, their code is a nightmarishly brittle and tangled mess, a major rearchitecture is required, and both organizationally and technically they have no ability to fix it. It's a monumental undertaking, I know. And it will be nearly impossible given their organization tensions.
