I don't see this at all. It's a simple question. And as Daniel explained, a
simple answer - there's not enough money. Nothing to flame about there...

And given that Hendricks has done a hell of a lot more than most users put
together, clearly the "freeloader" attack was just ridiculous.

I work for YDL, so you'd think I should be all offended... but I'm not and I
really don't see the fuss. If there was more money around, clearly hiring a
fulltime hacker to take care of little things like glibc and the toolchain
would be a good plan. But there isn't, so that hasn't happened. That's all.
