So much for 'Developers, developers, developers!'.

If there is one thing that seems to be common amongst large tech companies it is that it all starts out looking great, then after a few years the rot sets in and if they manage to hang on long enough eventually they turn into parasitic entities. There is no way that a company the size of Microsoft could not come up with a way of working that would enable the FOSS world that they claim to be such huge supporters of to deploy on their platform without hassle or cost. All of this friction in the name of security always accidentally helps the bottom line.
