Yes, it is an unfair attack. I didn't attack anybody, I just argued against
the choice of not including relevant compatibility libraries.
This doesn't amount to arguing for any bending acrobatics -- just that we
could make life easier for everybody if we are more careful with some of
these backwards compatibility issues.
And complaining (within limits) is helpful -- how else will the Fedora
project get feedback from the comunity? Isn't this the purpose of the
project?
I think it's harmful to kill such feedback with "shut up, it's free"
sort of attitude.
