My point goes beyond that -- rio can be thought of as an
implementation of a more general file system interface
that can be implemented by other windowing systems.
The parsimony and focus in that interface makes it easier
to swap rio for a window system that behaves differently
but provides the same mouse and keyboard multiplexing
to the programs running under it.
Rio can -- and I think, should -- change. The interface,
though, needs to be considered with care if we want to
maintain its general nature.
Arguably, rio *also* wasn't a sufficiently good steward
of this to date.
