Here's a dirty little secret. These companies are so fine tuned that they notice a 0.05% drop in revenue. Don't like what they do. Don't buy it and see if they change. If they change something and you vote with your cash they

I'm happy to support that bcache may have a stable on disk format, but the lashing out at the alternatives is another example of behaviour I'd prefer to see dropped. If your product is so great its it's own advert. If it has
