It's not that the open source community doesn't support, it's that it's an unstructured/unguranteed support structure. Do you guarantee me that if my Linux kernel came crashing in some specific environment that can't be easily debugged on a home computer,

More likely that Bill :)
Most are, but support and some other legal arrangements are very valid issues.
I hear ya, it just bugs me sometimes :)
I'm happy if you're happy
