I never said bastards.  Thanks for conflating things, and continuing to 
show you're just taking the point of hypocrisy and willfully being 
obtuse.  Did you take lessons in de-railing discussions from Karl Rove? 
  I'm going to guess that next you're going to accuse me of having an 
interracial lovechild out of wedlock...

And, no, I'm not accusing the actual ClamAV developers as being lazy, 
I'm characterizing/summarizing the resistance argument (to the original 
request(s)) by the naysayers.

Nice attempt at a strawman, though.

I'm not unhappy with ClamAV.  I'm unhappy with the naysayer arguments 
being given (by you and Dennis in particular).  They're childish, 
misleading, and counter productive to the overall software ecosystem 
(and ClamAV in particular).

ClamAV, in general, is a gem with rough edges.  A few of us are 
suggesting a means of refining a few of those rough edges.
