I've a little anecdote on this. Once at a community potluck, our table ended up with several wine bottles...but no corkscrew. I reasonably asked a neighboring table to borrow one of their own (nice ppl, but strangers). Well, nicely, they lent me some suspiciously plasticky version of a corkscrew, literally, the screw was made of some sort of plastic!). Shitty, in one word... Sure enough it snapped, the cork still stuck, I'm embarassed, offered the owner another wine bottle in apology. Had a laugh about it together and fun time. But it was a lesson on shittiness-in-disguise-of-utility.
Similarly with an open source libs or utils. If it's shitty by your own admission, then either keep it to one-self or properly warn people that it's just that ... shitty, not MIT kind of AS-IS.
