Cisco's conduct in this case may or may not be improper - we'll have to wait
for a little more information. From a PR point of view, they probably should
have let things ride and allowed the Blackhat talk to occur. They look like
bullies now, which is never good. Hindsight is 20/20, though.

That being said, their policy of offering free updates for certain bug fixes
to those who don't pay them for support is generous. See that hand feeding
you? Don't bite it.
