Ummm... Mike, you are a well-know contributor to Free Software. Such a statement from someone like you is kind of a shock to me.

Yes, that's what we normally do. However here I'm really uncertain. Actually I am deeply disappointed that such code made it into the Linux kernel. This should have never happened. Anybody else cares to comment what we should do?
