I have never disagreed that there are problems and you need to stop the 
usual adhominem attacks to maintain a rational discussion.

Note that contrary to your claims upstream has adopted it even before 
the first 2.6 kernel release and many other distributions are in-fact 
adopting it as you have agreed with the example of Debian earlier in 
this thread. Popularity doesn't determine the best choices. Otherwise we 
would be all running Windows now.
