I can't believe rsyslog compat won't suffer, well-meaning reassurances from a third-party can't trump the documented attitudes of core developers who aren't bound by them.

I've illustrated a lot, I could easily find more.

I do in fact believe Lennart et al are developing and promoting a system (distinct from the Linux ecosystem) that they consider genuinely superior. It's what being an open-source developer is all about. It doesn't mean they aren't engaging in some ends-justifies-the-means politicking on the way to world domination. I'm fed up with the latter, and with having the bad forced with the good.
