That's hardly unique to proprietary software. I once relied heavily on CIPE as a VPN, but FC2 just dumped it with no replacement. Yes, I could have kept all the broken pieces of the source code...

wasn't the cipe code dropped from the 2.6 kernel?


It was never part of the kernel - just a victim of the ever-changing Linux interfaces. There were eventually patches to fix it, but fedora never bothered to pick them up or even add openvpn which would have been a usable replacement.
