I just always avoided their stuff because it always cost more and wasn't as well supported in Linux back when I first started using Linux. Anyway, my point still stands. One platform does not a whitelist make. Instead why not make the MSI support optional and a build-option? I do believe that I even suggested such. This would allow for the people that want it (or need it) to have it and would keep a potentially dangerous option from being used. Now, since I'm at the end of options in explaining my point I'm going to start ignoring further messages on this topic.
