I see the difference but not everyone else does (e.g. ThoR).
He does see the difference between distributing patches and full copies, you don't appear to understand what his objection is.
Think of it like two religions arguing over which is right. Some people want to release binary patches rather than rewriting stuff and using a modern compiler, others want to rewrite stuff and use a modern compiler but see the binary patches as a reason not to bother (because it essentially is).
Using aros would be the most logical, but like when religion is involved logic goes straight out of the window once someone is convinced they are doing the right thing and others support them. The best way of derailing a good system is to make a bad one popular, like how Windows has become the no 1 OS.
