Making open source successful on the desktop, atop any operating
system, is a hard problem.
This group is obviously invested in the former, due to nature and
composition, and we could have all manner of conversation about
different paths to that success. (Maybe some people here are also
interested in the latter problem. Another set of interesting
conversations, to be sure.)
But I think that welding those two problems together is borrowing
trouble, and making the perfect the enemy of the good. (To be
perfectly clear: I am not saying that people are representing that
position here, so this is possibly a complete straw man, but I think
it's an important issue of scoping and plausibility, so I thought I'd
go ahead anyway.)
