    Hey Willy,

    Sorry, but my comment was not unjustified, since he started saying he is
    doing a free-job and we are saying is doing it 'wrong'.... That's not
    the case. We all are doing a free job, contributing in some way, not
    just you, him or me... Everybody involved in this discussion.

    But he, more than others, are also paid to do that job... Also, as a
    developer of any project so important as linux, doing that for free or
    not, you have a responsibility.
    You can choose to take it or not (I think that's why there is not many
    people with balls to accept it, and I congrats Greg for that).

    Just to finish my statement, let's stop this 'forks' on the main thread,
    please. I'm not here to judge anybody. Since it's an open project, we
    are trying to give our contribution as security researchers and as
    people who understand the security marketing.


    P.S.: Blahblahblah, disclaimer that this is my opinion and not the
    opinion of the company that I work for.


    Regards,


    Rodrigo (BSDaemon).
