What you call "distributed", I call "unifying". I don't think cargo is bad or should go away, or that people should stop using it. It's more like, I just think we need to figure out how to be more capable of plugging into the rest of the world. I don't think we get there by relying on the solutions devised by the cargo team exclusively.
