I may not be quite as passive about CFLs as you are, OTOH I agree some of the negatives about them get exaggerated. OTOH if they had no faults or problems at all, and cost half a cent a piece, and lasted for 20 years, I still wouldn't ban other types of bulbs (either directly, or by passing requirements that incandescents generally can't meet). Too many people are apt to pick what they think is the best (product, practice, technique, whatever) and force everyone to go that way.
