We demand source because we've been burned too much by its lack, not because
we have this desire to add custom hacks to our kernels or utilities. Believe
me, we'd all like to run stock systems, straight off the vendor distribution
tapes; it'd be significantly less work. But our users have this liking for
working systems and prompt fixes for the bugs they find, neither of which the
vendors we buy from have been particularly good in supplying.
