Good intent and somewhat competent

[Karl Denninger]

Its claimed to be a "good thing" ONLY BECAUSE the hardware didn't exist and
doesn't now to solve the REAL problem.

Of course, coddling a vendor for four years after the issue first became
apparent has perpetuated this situation through not one design turn, but now,
TWO design turns.

Finally, others are starting to take notice of an incredible market
opportunity, DESPITE the bias which was engendered due to this, and
products are beginning to ship.

So now we get "whaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!  I don't like the CLI!" as the only
remaining argument?
