This is the closest to my feelings about this entire situation I've ever seen written, covering a lot of the different facets of how stupid and painful it is (though it's been a good week for that kind of post.)
Since I have incredible respect for Armin and his work, this is very nice to see, and I hope it wakes some other folk up.
