Our community is not "divided", it simply has a large number of interests,
meaning there is rarely a single standard library choice that benefits all
groups equally: academic, pedagogic, hobbyist, commercial, etc. And exactly
because we're not divided, we naturally avoid favoring the needs of one group
over another.
