That kind of attitude is one akin to telling me I shouldn't have been
working on the ARM Linux kernel for the past 10 years because I haven't
been paying Linus money for support.

Wake up.  Not everyone can build their own embedded distribution from
scratch from the year dot.  Unfortunately I have _far_ too much invested
over ten years to change from an RPM-based distro, thanks to the quirks
of the mega-fragmented ARM community.
