When did Ham Radio become an all or nothing hobby?

Why do we need to have 100% backing from the existing APRS community before 
anyone starts playing with different ideas or hardware?

Scott Miller N1VG has started working on the OpenTRAC protocol and project 
without waiting for general public approval and support. It is possible that 
Scott's OpenTRAC may take over and replace the APRS system.

If that happens, will there still be people standing on the sidelines 
complaining that there is a better way, but still not doing anything?

Kudos to Scott for remembering that Ham Radio is about experimentation.
