A concerted effort to destroy and dumb down Linux - by whom?

A concerted effort to destroy and dumb down Linux - by whom?

I am playing this game long enough to clearly see how all useful, valuable and working perfectly features of Linux sooner or later become removed or blocked. I am sick and tired of two sources of pressure: one to constantly upgrade to remain "supported" (what a misnomer - no one supports anyone in Linux, this is a farce); another to stay safe when I am totally uninterested in that. Nobody cares about my stuff working - only that I am safe. Safe and idle as I cannot do anything with this fabulous, safe, but useless Linux.

Read this. Read carefully: they removed the Raw IEEE 1394 device from the kernel because it did not implement security policies. What did they replace it with? Nothing actually, but who cares that we cannot capture video from our DV cameras anymore - we are safe! We live in a better world now: safety and no pesky videos captured.

Some developers need their fingers smashed with a brick.
