Skepicism is vital for survival. You put 2 and 2 together well. I
simply don't have enough data.
Sounds like you're saying Carmony runs CNR and therefore we need to
keep an eye on it because Carmony is questionable. Fine with me.
Come to think of it, the entire open source effort needs to watch
their backs. Criminals like MS would LOVE to get their very dirty
hands on even a part of it.
Even thought they be scumbags, they ain't stupid.
