Linux Creator Linus Torvalds recently expressed frustration with change proposals to the Linux kernel that are only "required" due to faulty hardware. Phoronix notes that Torvalds ranted on the Linux kernel mailing list over the last week, saying that buggy hardware should not be Linux's problem, suggesting kernel developers just say "no" and see what the "hardware people" say.

He's got a good point, and it's true for anything. If you try to adapt or cover up an issue, that doesn't fix or address the problems, and it encourages more problems in the future to deal with (that will probably multiply into more) because you always take care of it. Throw it back at them explaining they have to meet the same standards that everyone does, and it's not your problem anymore.
