There was a bug. It was in software you got for free. It is hopefully fixed, before the next bug is found and fixed. In the meantime, further advancements will improve that software so that it continues to do neat innovative things. >and takes down an entire network with ridiculous amounts of >pps is not considered "serious"? OK, let me call it "serious", just for a minute. Do you feel better? Hey, does everyone else feel better? Hell, does anyone feel better? I doubt it. >I don't think I understand the logic here. What does logic have to do with calling something "serious" or not calling it "serious"? Am I calling it "serious" in the right places? Do I need to put it on a web page, or a wiki, or is my logic faulty for not broadcasting it enough? Should claudio write it on his chest in permanent marker for you to be satisfied? Because clearly you are only mouthing off because you want to be satisfied. >All users of 4.9 (possibly even 4.8) deserve to have this fixed so >they don't suffer the same fate. Oh... all users. How about me, on my little laptop having a glass of wine with friends. Do I deserve a fix right now, before I suffer the fate of the ospfd bug? I doubt it. And "deserve"? Noone deserves anything from us. People get good things, and they are happy. The developers in this project do the best they can writing innovative software, and will not accept preaching from pompous self-entitled American pricks like you. And if there is anyting "All users" "deserve", it is for people like you to start the apologies. I believe you deserve to stop running the software. Right now, ok?
