Upstream routinely deliberately creates regressions, like disabling functionality to continue their pathetic war with Sun, a company that ceased to exist more than a decade ago.

Grumpy about something? You've phrased that in a way that I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm automatically inclined to doubt it. Do you wish to restate that in more specific and clear form?

Given the mention of Sun, my guess is that it's a complaint about the "no regressions" policy applying only to user space, but not to the kernel API used by out-of-tree modules like ZFS.

I'd guess it's a reference to GPL-only exports making life more difficult for OpenZFS. Not that there's actually a war on, with Sun's corpse or anyone else, nor that OpenZFS actually has anything currently to do with Sun, either.

Your criticism, if it's about the CDDL, should be directed at Oracle.

Even nvidia fanboys aren't this rabid.
