I didn't mean to come across as "blackmailing", although I see that it
would come across that way. Sorry, my bad.

What got to me is that I've been talking about this very issue wrt ISDN to
Dirk Hohndel in private several months ago, and I know that SuSE actually
wants to make the Linux ISDN support much better. So when I see somebody
from SuSE posting silly things, I get really nervous about that
involvement.

So think of the comment more as trying to keep _SuSE_ in line rather than
keeping any developers in line.
