On the sickness of our community

That said, I cannot think of another major developer in the Linux milieu whose design and implementations I like less, and I am not especially subdued about it when the topic comes up.

*That* said, the idea of *threatening* him has never even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind; I'm simply disappointed that so many release designers have drunk his Flavor-Aid that his (IMNSHO) poorly designed replacements for perfectly serviceable working code are now effectively impossible to avoid, unless you have the labor to build your own distro from scratch *and manage an entire package repo*.

But that's a technical judgement. No part of it is a threat.
