I'd be concerned if this happened.  Does one's future actions nullify
one's previous (or current) achievements?

I could cure cancer tomorrow, but if in 50 years I break the pope's
nose because he tries to save me on my deathbed I'd be remembered for
that instead.

I'd rather see the filesystem project change or fail because of
technical reasons, and not social reasons.  For me, I choose to not
use that filesystem for technical reasons (and apathy) not social
ones.  This media crap would probably have me take a closer look, and
not develop an aversion.
