In fact, if he'd been above board about it, that's likely what we
would have said.  You don't see us telling the DRI people that
they're evil for doing their work in an environment that's comfortable
for them.  I still don't understand why he insisted on so completely
alienating the rest of the XFree86 core team instead of just doing
what you suggest.
