Well, he needs a solution to make up for D2XX being not-good,

It wasn't just OpenOCD.  ISTR seeing Eclipse integration too.
I'd like to see that on Ubuntu!

Depends what you mean "bite".  If you mean "makes vendors understand
their role must include 'giving back to the community'" then I'd agree.

That can be an "external" person, a distributor, so long as they
feed back essential fixes.  Having a list of such contacts might
be useful, but not all projects do that.
