It doesn't hurt to just _ask_ Joey his perspective. It might take a while for him to get back to you, but there's a good chance he may, given some time: He's living (last I heard) almost entirely off the grid in the Appalachian Mountains -- backwoods Tennessee. He remains veritable fountain of essential free software (e.g., small jewels like ikiwiki, git-annex, and etckeeper[1]). Mostly he's coding Haskell these days, by preference. He's more than a bit of an introvert: There's a reason his blog bears the anagram subheader 'see shy jo'. But if you ask him a reasonable, thoughtful, and focussed question, he'll probably get back to you. I think. Don't ask him to step into the middle of any angry advocacy dogfights, though, or even within their approximate vicinity. It's _very_ obvious he's done with anything that even smells vaguely of that.
