Yes, and really scares me are the guys that still don't get it.
After some days of vacation I just checked tbe german deppen^Wbsdforen,
and guess what? There're people happy about that workarounds or new
BLOBs are available.
Why do people still trust vendors shipping binary-only crap that
just doesn't work? That's just ridiculous. "Oh, they shipped crap,
but they do ship new crap, so it's ok."
Many people did made it clear that and why BLOBs aren't an option,
but it seems that nobody cares.
I don't know the english words, so here's my impression of this
situation in german (perhaps someone may translate it):
Die Leute lassen sich wie die Laemmer zur Schlachtbank
fuehren -- immer und immer wieder.
So, sorry for the rant, but I'm really upset about this.
Ciao,
Kili
