🗒️ Conversation Summary: Developers discussed proposals to split the Bitcoin client into separate executables for the daemon, GUI, and RPC command line. Some developers expressed concerns about backward compatibility and disrupting monetary access. The discussion also highlighted the tension between innovation and stability in open-source projects. Suggestions were made for creating a Wiki to record past suggestions and decisions, and for maintaining a tree-of-trees for staging upstream-ready changes and new developments.
