I was not really attacking Alexei. He is doing a fine job against all odds.
My target was Rochester as such and their attitude of "we know best".
A bit of peer review would help them there. Think of the extension of
the library list as an example. Think of the times where a decision
is made because it benefits IBM rather than their customers. Think
of all the security holes that IBM claim do not exist until shown otherwise:
passwords in clear, poor implementation of program validation values,
poor password encryption (IBM blame Micro$oft who in turn blame IBM),
etc...
