Do you see any relation between the absence of the backstabbing, provocative and "look at me being superior and them being stupid" remarks on this forum and my drive to spend my precious time helping here?

It would be really beneficial if iRex would make the sources for their version of key libraries such as Poppler available. It would also be very helpful if iRex made their kernel sources available. It would also be very helpful if iRex supplied the long delayed hold-down-a-button-to-reload-firmware-from-media-card feature. And it would help iLiad developers everywhere if iRex released either JTAG support or a console cable.
In my opinion you are one of the "good guys" at iRex but your rice bowl is still filled by the success of the iLiad. Any time you spend helping make the iLiad more successful is helping keep that rice bowl filled and un-cracked.
The really precious time is that of people such as Antartica, Design256, Yokos et al whom are spending their personal time figuring out things iRex could have supplied thus allowing everyone to spend more of their precious personal time on producing cool software/ports.
I personally would rather spend my precious time on figuring out the best paragraph breaking algorithm for page layout in my iLiad RTF Viewer than reverse engineering Poppler to figure out which version iRex is using.
If iRex is ready to allow developers to submit check ins to the public repository sign me up.
