It's tempting to carry this argument too far. We can be first with
good new ideas; first with experimental stuff; first with additions.
We need not be first with bad ideas (and discussions here are a way of
figuring out good from bad, let's not beg the question). We also need
not be first when it comes to subtraction of functionality.
