Except that what actually happens is that there's a pile of open issues in the
pyca repo that never get fixed and a bunch of users, some of whom would have
been able to contribute useful stuff to the project, go somewhere else
instead.  It might feel satisfying to take your ball and go home, but all it
means in the long run is that a bunch of kids don't get to play.

In any case all of this is moot since no-one has actually asked IBM whether
they'd consider donating an xlc license to the cfarm.

Peter.
