Yes, I am interested, and really sorry to hear such stories.  I prefer not to 
be a policeman for Bacula add-ons, but if they are putting out something that 
is really terrible, please send me a condensed summary of the problems, the 
amount of time these problems have existed, and the email address of the 
person responsible that I can contact.  

I'll send them an email mentioning that xxx problems have be raised and ask 
how and when they are going to address them.  If I get a positive response 
great.  

If I get a negative response (or none), I can "think" about requesting them to 
pull anything with the name Bacula on it -- after all the name is 
trademarked. I have no problem with certain use of the Bacula name providing 
it promotes the product and doesn't drag down our image.

Regards,

Kern
