I've been watching this thread, and several others, for a few days
now.  I haven't said anything because I did not think I had anything
worth contributing to the discussion.  It seems plain to me that
nothing is going to be solved here.

I am speaking up now because I do not want my silent observance to be
seen as 'approval' of what happened.  I vehemently disagree with the
way the ClamAV developers handled this situation.  I sincerely hope
that the FOSS community rises up to the challenge and an equally
capable virus scanner is born whose core developers are a little more
considerate in how they treat the many 'upgrade orphans' that will
always exist.
