Yes and no. From the discussion here I've learned about the existence of jank, which wouldn't have come up a year or so ago and might be an interesting solution to a problem for me as it evolves (that problem mainly being me not wanting to use C++ or any of the other directly supported languages in a plugin ecosystem). So these things are worth bubbling up every now and again just for the discussion to have a chance to play out.
