Given that I (and everyone I've spoken to) thought that one of the main goals for the Raspberry Pi was to provide an open platform for childrens education and development (right or wrong, this is how it was marketed to me and quite a few others that I know personally) it makes me feel a bit like I've been had. If it's not an open platform why are we supporting it? What's the difference between this and insert a n other board? Cheapness? I can get that with an MSP430. Linux? I can get that elsewhere in a more open capacity.
