But that's my point: when is it no longer Apache Hadoop? How major
does a change need to be under the line? In the case of CDH2 and 3, in order
to test it out, I actually had to back out some of Cloudera's "improvements" in
order to even test whereas I didn't under Apache. Is this another place where
we only seem to care about APIs and say to hell with the rest of the stack?
