Only 10 people who thought it worth while to put their hands up and

something about it. There will be many who will have seen the
threads and
decided they have nothing more to add than "me too", and probably a
fair
number that are waiting for their friendly tech to unbreak their
appliance.
I've been watching this thread, and several others, for a few days
now. I haven't said anything because I did not think I had anything
worth contributing to the discussion. It seems plain to me that
nothing is going to be solved here.
I am speaking up now because I do not want my silent observance to be
seen as 'approval' of what happened. I vehemently disagree with the
way the ClamAV developers handled this situation. I sincerely hope
that the FOSS community rises up to the challenge and an equally
capable virus scanner is born whose core developers are a little more
considerate in how they treat the many 'upgrade orphans' that will
always exist.

That is what FOSS is all about, start coding and I will take it for a
ride when you have a beta.
