Summary: If EPO management cracks down on the most vulnerable people (who deserve sympathy) maybe it's time to reduce "productivity" some more. This isn't like nurses and GPs going on strike. Remember that fewer patents don't mean lack of progress. In fact, more patents only impair availability of things like life-saving medicine.
