I don't consider it a flame either, because as Pekka has pointed out, it's 
simply the truth.  It's gotten so bad that we have been stitching 
together alternate paths just to get away from the mess.  I've sent a 
number of emails into them about this over many past months, but there 
seems to be a distinct lack of interest based on a lack of response. 
Maybe it's time to find an alternate upstream.

I would be interested, yes.
