I don't think it's that they don't get respect, they're just overlooked - remember that much of the development is done by developers employed by the big distros, by Redhat, Novell, Canonical. If people want them to consider the needs of other distros, those people need to be prepared to put in some work of their own. To use the PK case again, I'm sure the developers would be happy to support systems that don't use PAM - *if* someone provides a patch to do so, and will commit to maintaining it for the foreseeable future. The latter being critical - I'd certainly expect them to reject such a patch if nobody was willing to own it. Simon.
