I doubt if you will find anyone against husbandry, which is what most of 
us understand sustainability to be.

The problem with "sustainability" is who defines what it is you are 
trying to achieve, and who determines how you get there.

This whole thread came about because of extreme ideas of what 
sustainability is, rather than the rational (and usually warm and fuzzy) 
ones that also say what it is. So we have a term that means what we want 
it to mean. That is dangerous.
