That has got to be the silliest thing I have ever heard. Yes, it does take
discipline to grow and remain organized. This is not a "Linux Community"
issue, this is departing from the Linux community. Perhaps you are too young
to remember the UNIX wars. I have been programming UNIX since 1982, and
frankly I spit on M$. Branching off so that users are stuck with your way
your doing things is very M$. It is natural when a strong advocate of Linux,
like myself, sees this kind of devisivness to become disturbed.
Get something else to massage your ego, join the revolution. Linux is about
freedom, an escape from tyrany.
Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for such is
the new kingdom.
