It has been bad enough having 2 independent, different implementations of the JACK API. Now Pipewire adds a 3rd (not great, but also not so bad), but then in addition says "oh, you don't *have* to use this implementation, the others are still available". In terms of the famed "user flexibility" this is, uhm, cool I suppose. But in terms of Pipewire's broader goals, it just adds to (and continues) the mess.

Running PipeWire on top of JACK was something that was requested early
on because firewire audio support was broken in the
kernel and there was no other way to run that hardware otherwise. Now
that this is largely fixed, running PipeWire on JACK is
pretty pointless, confusing and no longer supported. I think I'm going
to remove it in some future version...
