My son and I are pretty deep into Minecraft, and we have been for a number of years now. We certainly play Feed The Beast modpacks, but we spend most of our time on client-vanilla but modified servers. Regarding your last statement, it does strike me as a strange thing as well, but also consider what Linux kernel you're running. For non-HN people, the chances are essentially zero that they're running a Linus kernel. I haven't run a Linus kernel in...I can't even remember. Granted, the analogy has some weaknesses, starting with how one needs to essentially hack mods into Mojang's official releases, a rather different approach than 'modding' the Linux kernel.
