No! Rob, if this statement would be right, it will legalize any kind of
modifications within Busybox as long as scripts do not break when run
with Busybox.

May be there is a very little peak of right in your words, but the
major part is not very nice behavior against others. Sure, we can close
our eyes, but I do not feel comfortable being that blind against
producing problems for other distro/system maintainers.

That is, I agree with you, we shall look for a better solution, but I
tend to be more with Denys to try not necessarily breaking other things
in a really bad way. We shall really look to get pressure to fix things
in upstream and follow with Busybox as soon as they change.
