Well, personally, as a _user_ of FreeBSD, I don't care who has the
finger pointed at them, or who claims "it isn't _our_ bug". I care that no
one can debug a program that uses shared libraries under -STABLE, and I
care when it will be fixed. I don't consider a system I have to patch the
loader in order to debug my code to be "STABLE".
