Anytime you bring up the damage these changes cause, you are likely to

maintaining interoperable interfaces constitutes support of some particular

products.

And it isn't confined to proprietary stuff anyway. The truecrypt driver I
have to keep fixing is GPL, the freenx mailing list if full of people
wondering why freenx stopped working and rediscovering all the Xorg 7
changes they have to work around, and freenx is GPL. Its gotten to the
total lunacy stage.
