    Surely it's more:
    bad == go away and don't use future improvements to our software anymore please.
    ??

    *If* you think it's bad (Linus doesn't as far as the kernel goes) then isn't it
    reasonable to exclude 'bad for the community' from the community?

    This isn't retroactive - they can continue to use any V2 software they had, they
    wouldn't be able to use V3 developments.

    That seems to me to be a very, very reasonable thing to do (and very much *not*
    bad == illegal IMHO)

    PS well, I was just seeing if anyone had fixed my libata/md bug yet but this
    seemed more interesting.
    PPS and Tejun has, I'm off...
