Same as with Mandrakes RPMdrake. Once you go Ximian, if you try to update using RPMDrake, it freaks out, bucause all the versions are different. Makes it a pain to try to update to Cooker.
A large misconception about this game is that it's "free". When you consider the fact that it was paid for with our tax dollars, you can throw that idea out the window.
Actually, I would like to see more of my tax dollars spent this way. I'm intelligent enough to see the propaganda for what it is, and not be sucked in by it. I also find the game entertaining, so this game is a big plus for me.
Also, I think that a seven million dollar ad campaign that provides an entertaining outlet, instead of the stupid and boring "Army of One" ads i see during most tv shows I watch is money well spent.
Spend 7 mill, and then release, keeping some staff online for updates and whatnot, or spend 10 million on stupid ads in every medium available for eternity. Which sounds like the better way to spend your money?
With things like the DCMA seeming to spread out across the world, and worse bills on the horizon, how worse do you think it is going to get before people come to their senses, and things come around. More importantly, do you see things ever turning around?

As bad as this sounds, I hope it's just that the plane and mechanical problems.
