There is always injustice. You're arguing that one level of injustice is acceptable and that another isn't, and you're justifying your distinction because you think the benefits of providing that information are greater than the costs of the loss of freedom. But there's no absolute rational measure of that, in the same way that there's no way to rationally say that the loss of freedom in terms of users not being able to produce their own signed bootloader or kernel for free is more or less significant than the benefit of having an operating system that users can install without firmware reconfiguration. You're fine with one level of injustice. I'm fine with another level of injustice. Both compromise the freedoms that Fedora currently gives you. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
