As I suspected, a massive flamewar has happened while I've been away. I
don't think I have anything to add to what has been said (and I certainly
don't want to continue a flamewar).

Can people please just drop the subject until after Usenix. This kind of
flamewar is too upsetting (to me anyway) and just makes it harder to have
a useful face-to-face discussion.
