In principle this sounds good, but... This doesn't seem to be in best interest.. Taking it to the extreme, noone should code the linux kernel for buggy bios's, cards etc anymore either.. We should all tell em to upgrade their hardware? Almost every software application has made allowances for buggy or non-compliance systems. We should encourage their disuse, but should we play god? I still vote against anything that prevents someone from contributing to the linux kernel, the movement, and since these mailing lists are the 'official' way of contributing, aren't we going to far? Our way or the highway sentiment seems more in keeping with corporate attitudes than with the 'open' attitudes that the open source movement fosters. Just My Humble Opinion...
