Well, I'm of the opinion that if you can help someone and it doesn't cost you anything, then there's no reason not to help. And that working with people who show concern about downstream problems and appreciation about their work is much nicer. The alternative is insulting distributors, so they lose interest, stop reporting bugs, start accumulating local patches and next thing you know, everything's one huge mess where every single program needs to include hacks for every variant of iibc++ out there.
