Take notice that i don't blame any volunteer/employee of another company for this. I didn't say "Airlie's policies are wrong". I said AMD's driver policy is wrong. There is a difference. You are a programmer, so are surely familiar with logic.
AMD dropped Catalyst support for perfectly valid hardware. They provided their customers with 3 options:
1. Stay with an outdated distro
2. Use open source drivers
3. Switch operating system
Of the 3, the only semi-acceptable solution would be no2, IF they actually made some effort to make them decent. I am not asking for performance on par with fglrx, but when you see dpm and uvd working on freshly released hardware and not the hardware left in the cold, you know AMD is giving you its middle finger.
And it is in situations like this when you get to show them the middle finger as well...
