Libre software is about freedom to control your computing, not freedom
to choose a proprietary OS. The FSF supports compiling for Windows
because it helps users to transition to libre software.
Attacking users for making a bad decision (Windows) is unproductive
and hurtful, but not directly at odds with libre software principles
as you suggest.

It's funny, GNU is about freedom of choice, yet just about every
message I read has people trampling over others choice of
operating system.
It's appalling to read almost every day these arguments. Yes,
sometimes it's hard to support different platforms. I'm a software
engineer myself, so I know the complexities of supporting
different systems, if the maintainer doesn't want to support said
platform I'm not going to argue, but if others are going to bash
people for their choices, it's basically like reading poison. Just
stop with it, it gets us no where and it goes against the very
principal of GNU.
I'm at the point where I just want to unsubscribe to the mailing
list, it's that bad.

What you "sense" is a conspiracy theory, and it's ridiculous.
IceCat is
not important in the grand scheme of things for anyone who
isn't a libre
software supporter, so there is no cause for a conspiracy.
Further,
there is no evidence for a conspiracy. What you are seeing is
nothing
more than user dissatisfaction. It's not just here, either;
similar
dissatisfaction has been expressed on the Trisquel forum.
Personally, I think it would be great if both of these
projects could be
handed off to someone else. After all, Ruben is clearly
overworked.
However, this is an imperfect world and there don't seem to be
any takers.
Also, even the FSF supports building software for Windows.
Anyway, please stop flooding my inbox with screeching about your
conspiracy theories. That is not what I am subscribed to this
mailing
list for.
