Bug fixes is not development.
3Com has made a decision based on factors they consider relevant. This echo
is not intended to debate OS-related matters beyond their impact on 3Com
products. The position has been stated. You may not agree with it, which is
fine, and you may complain that the position adopted causes you problems.
What you cannot do is start an OS war, not here, anyway.
