I call everyone 'kids,' it's not meant to be offensive. I'm 24 myself.

The 'here's why' part gets tricky with security stuff. I don't want to be complicit in people trashing accounts. And if you read, I did submit patches.

And they are making up their own protocol. It's currently not documented.

yep. in common usage it often seems 'kids' is a reference to anyone no older than 5-10 years younger than oneself. ;)
