It is quite funny. When some in the Linux camp does some "layering violation" it is ok. But it is not ok that others, such as ZFS, does that.

What is that phenomena called? When you can do stuff, but when others does the same thing - it is a bad thing?

"Back in my day..."

Er, I mean: back in the usenet heyday, we used to call that "PKB" (short for Pot, Kettle, Black).
