That's kind of true. If there were a few thousand more developers, for

example the different session management interfaces wouldn't be a

problem. If you have, say, 3 session management interfaces, and each

app supports one it effectively divides the number of apps you can use

by 3 if you need session mgmt. If there were thousands of developers

and as a result thousands of apps, there would still be a lot of apps

left to choose... But I don't think this will happen any time soon, so

I think it would be better for the existing developers to focus a bit

more on compatibility with other apps. Conclusion: We are few, so we

really need to work together on this ;)
