Conspiracy theorists *unite*, you have a leader.

A thread gets started due to a feature(s) being removed in one application
due to legal issues and suddenly *all* applications have been "crippled" and
"mutilated".

Of course, nobody mentions what Red Hat does on the Enterprise Level in that
they backstitch features and fixes from later versions of the kernel into
their released versions.  They also contribute in other areas on other projects.

All that happens, from a select few, is that they get criticized for
dropping features and/or applications that may result in their facing legal
action.  Could it be that some folks want them to leave those in so they can
find themselves fighting legal battles and forced into bankruptcy?
