The nut graph from arlied's post[1] (linked to in phoronix article):
"So really Rasberry Pi and Broadcom - get a big FAIL for even bothering to make a press release for this, if they'd just stuck the code out there and gone on with things it would have been fine, nobody would have been any happier, but some idiot thought this crappy shim layer deserved a press release, pointless. (and really phoronix, you suck even more than usual at journalism)."
