I personally think that the essence of that nice post is in the very last quote: "Those who don't understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." The rest is just history, and as always happens to history it is and will be manipulated, rearranged, edulcorated, simmered and served in several possible fashions, styles and shapes, according to the taste of the narrator. My major regret is that in the end the immense decisional infrastructure of Debian, which I respected for years as an example of bottom-up democracy, was not able to *decide* on such a delicate and fundamental issue, which in fact was not just technical but phylosophical (and if you call the result of the GR a "decision" then we have very different views about what "deciding" means).
