The complaint about the size is most certainly not just "MS bashing". Dumping massive flawed pieces of code on people out of the blue and expecting them to be grateful is bad form, no matter who you are.

Unfortunately this seems to be Microsoft's MO.

How are the MS people who submitted the patch "expecting" others to be "grateful"?

Perhaps they are not, but the people complaining about "snark" are what I am talking about.

Anyway, my point is that complaints about the size are very valid.
