Pardon me, but while I agree that there is really no need for the separation, I must disagree fervently with your argument likening RMS, and the FSF (to whom we owe our very existance) to the Bolsheviks. It is really uncalled-for, and not even close to being accurate. RMS is acting to ensure morality is preserved and extended as much as possible, and as such, I can understand his position. I agree that there is no real need to separate the machines or sites (there is already a directory separation). Thus, I both agree with RMS that a separation is necessary and with those that say that moving files to a different server is too much of a separation.
Also, please don't put words into the mouth of Mr. Stallman.
