I think a concern with image is legitimate. Calling a well-known worm something else for no immediately obvious purpose (yes, it makes sense
How many times must we endure this incorrect statement?
when you explain it to someone, but most users wouldn't get that on their own) makes the product seem a little dicey. It might make admins ask, "Should I put nonconformist software on my production server?"
That isn't the right question. The real question is:
"Should I put this non-release pre-version-one still-under-development software on my *production server*?"
And you think they are going to worry about the name of one virus, rather than the fact that the software hasn't even reached version 1.0 yet? If so, don't hire them. If you're going to decide on running pre-1.0 software you are going to have to put some time into investigating it, and if you put any time into investigating or testing ClamAV you will find out it the netsky issue and how to solve it.
Come on, let's be real here.
A central repository of cross-references would probably be the best and most resilient solution.
I definitely agree, but that's a lot of work.
Not really. But there are other issues (machine/hardware to run it on, bandwidth to support it, etc).
But if you are going to complain about some missing feature in an open source project, you better be willing to step up and help provide the feature!
I know I keep saying the same thing here (and I'll stop now, if nothing new is brought up), but this seems like a real no-brainer to me. It might be different if we weren't constantly getting questions on this list the whoel SomeFool/Netsky issue.
I just don't understand why we're insisting on going against the grain on this one...
Are you sure he's going against the grain, and not you?
Sorry to go on about this so much, because it really is a minor point, but it seems like we're being a little silly with this one.
