That's irrelevant.  I can't turn a customer loose on some libsl based 
project or even a patched client.  I'd have to bill them an hour or so 
every two weeks when it breaks.  People don't like software that breaks 
every two weeks.  Upgrading from the official source they could handle, 
but relying on me to compile something for them every two weeks until 
the end of time isn't really viable.
