It's strange, isn't it? Not open-sourcing, you 'kena' (talk abt MSFT), open-sourcing, you also 'kena'. I'm still lost to this way of thinking. There are different ways of doing things, we all know that, after all we're using Linux, one of the most diverse OS where doing one thing could be done using x different ways and y different tools. Everything has its own pros and cons; I have my own dislikes of proto (a minutiae of details), but overall it's a great piece of code that can be readily used if you need it. It's back to the users to think of whether this thing is better than the rest. The code is there out in the open and Kenton just wants to 'pitch' it; and I don't see anything wrong with that. (Though, it's very fun to read all the comments!!
