And when they're told it's not broken, they just have to suck it?

I'm not defending ESR here though.  Legal issues are pretty much
impossible to fix technically.

The majority of the community does not care either way.  Which is true
of pretty much any issue, the caring minority just changing.  If you
feel like driving people out just because they're a minority is not a
problem you won't have much of a majority left after a while.

I'd be happy to patch anaconda to have "everything" again.  I'm
probably going to in practice.  I will submit the patch if you want,
but I know it will be rejected, so what's the point?
