We seem to have a very different recollection of events. This is not how 
i interpreted them back then, and this is not how i interprete them 
today either. Maybe you should read through it again.

I was barely bashing VIA then, the "We are now releasing source"-lie 
happened later. And i was only rude to one very specific subclass of 
users. Tell me, has warren been more co-operative with the openchrome 
project?

Oh; Last i heard, the rev 18 issue wasn't handled completely, as that 
"user", who quite clearly was of a totally different class than the 
users you seem to denote here, was unable to get his follow-up problem 
acknowledged.

Yes, happy hogswatch to everybody.
