Just because you can import a library to do something doesn’t mean you should. Why bloat the software even more for a function that is used rarely (i.e. during outages) and by very few people?


Slack is not particularly known for caring about bloat in their pages.


Or apps for that matter. Having used the app for 6 months, I just keep a browser tab open these days, no use of feeding all the RAM to Slack.


We are going to find out the Hynix is a major stockholder in Slack. Mystery Solved.


Or for rarely having outages...


That’s why I said “why should they bloat it even more”. I mean it’s already bloated and you want them to add more stuff just for an obscure little thing?


Because its the right thing to do for the customer.
