SIE.12:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Shared meaning | Common modules reduce repeated work, while participants retain distinct purposes and source authority. |
| Local development | Extensions can answer local questions, while consumers need to know which shared commitments still hold. |
| Decision rights | Maintainers need power to release a module, while contact or repository access alone cannot establish that remit. |
| Stability | Identifiable meanings support reliance, while mistakes and changed requirements need correction. |
| Participation | Open contribution can improve coverage, while unresolved proposals still need a usable decision path. |
