I personally do not think this should be openly distributed.
Although I kinda understand Larry's justification (to an extent), it still is a bit questionable.
Perhaps coding an altered client is a bit outside the realm of most players in this community (most of the BLed players are "cheaters," who merely use these clients created by 'hackers" - V-Man would always make that distinction), but there are still simple things that players (especially the "competitive" sort), that do in some ways give unfair advantages.
Stuff like brightskins, jump bind, and to an extent that script that spams the damage made in team-chat.
Perhaps we should do like what is done in sauerbraten with the SWL client? Larry (or somebody else willing to volunteer) could create a specific "competitive" client that includes some of the above mentioned things, such that they become the norm?
