Yeah, I have a feeling the Hero ROM has a lot of goodies in it that make Android an over-all nicer platform. I'm just very against doing that (not against it in principle, against it as a practical matter of "I do system support at work, I don't want to use up my luxury time by doing system support at home, as well" -- so I tend to avoid using non-vendor supported OSes on my hardware; I use the Dell version of Ubuntu on my Mini-9, I bought a System-76 nettop for running Ubuntu on a desktop, and I use the vanilla Android on my G1).

I didn't take it as bashing. Sorry, sometimes when I'm being very rigorous and trying to eliminate ambiguities, I can come across as being very aggressive, or confrontational, or something like that. It's more that I'm trying to address/eliminate edge cases, and head off "what if's" up front so that the discussion doesn't run off in to the rough.

When I'm _arguing_ with someone, I'm exactly the opposite -- I give them as little detail, and as much ambiguity, as possible -- precisely to give them rope to hang themselves with. It's sort of the Aikidoka in me :-}
