So is your email, which I find kind of rude and I expect Karl will too.

Karl is trying to do the right thing, but he is getting conflicting
views from we Haiku developers. Unfortunately we are individual people
and do not always agree on everything.

I find it a bit disappointing that people are being so harsh about
this since Karl is just trying to facilitate people more easily
developing on Haiku. It is not like he is burning CDs and handing them
out or trying to sell them. Also I expect the people that visit
Haikuware.com are not much different than those visiting haiku-os.org,
so it is not like many people will download the image without knowing
what it is.

But this is just my opinion.
