It's an example, don't get personal.
Life works like this: Upstream -> Distribution -> Users
Expecting everyone to manage splintered code bases instead of their
distribution when they don't like something is unreasonable. I'm not a
distribution, and I don't intend to be one.
ClamAV is complicated by the fact that it needs to update its
database. I already explained that I can't keep to the distribution
releases because the current database causes the 'stable' release to
break.
Are you telling me that my choice is either to have ineffective virus
signatures or spend the rest of time maintaining a whole new package?
Why not just fix the problem at the source, then everyone benefits?

This particular problem is a project management culture, not something
that particularly interesting code patches.
