I agree it was not a nice rant, but it's not an irrelevant opinion, |
| 12 |
because Schilling -let's say- idiosyncratic personality, has led, as |
| 13 |
Alexander pointed out, to the disapperance of cdrecord from most Linux |
| 14 |
distros and its substitution with cdrkit, for example. |

The problem is that of a tool that for licence etc. problems could be |
| 17 |
easily be dropped from a distribution. It's of a relatively unreliable |
| 18 |
developer (or, better stated, of unrealiable relationships between the |
| 19 |
dev and the community). Given this, I would think twice before |
| 20 |
substituting tar with a Schilling tool. The cdrecord scar is still painful. |
