I really agrees with you. mldonkey really made a major mistake (sin?) in 
 discriminating against other clients based on their nature rather than 
their behavior. Fabrice should do a clear public statement that mldonkey 
do not discriminate (or let users configure mldonkey to discriminate) 
against other clients based on what they are (client implementation, 
friends) rather on how they behave (retries, uploads...).

Lugdunum publishes in advance his planned modifications to the protocol 
to cooperating developers. I cannot see how some people on this list can 
blame him for mistakes from the mldonkey community.
And for me, as long as current mldonkey devs do not clarify the above 
points, I perfectly understands why mldonkey can be perceived (wrongly) 
as a cheating client.
