Some of us developer's get paid for doing things.

Spare me the details... :-/

There was a little thing like a major release from our small
engineering organization at Vyatta to get done. Unlike the cushy
life at other companies, in a small company the engineers have to
deal with customer issues, bugzilla bugs.

When I worked at a startup I handed off all of my main kernel
maintainer duties to other people because I knew I couldn't be
responsive enough upstream.

I do the same when I'm going to be away on a real vacation.

You could elect to do so too.

I also do handle bugzilla bugs and do real engineering for the
company I work for, and if you're suggesting otherwise that's
a pretty serious insult to me Stephen.
