Having gone through 10 years of "Open Source" vs "Free Software" debates, I know that (like emacs vs vim, bsd vs linux, gnome vs kde, bsd vs gpl, reply-to for mailing lists, code indentation styles, and other religious debates) that nothing will come of it. So proposing that GNOME as a project adopt one or the other amounts to a troll, in that it will create an endless discussion with no result. > If you're suggesting that _this_ survey is somehow biased, as your example > question would appear to, I'd appreciate more specific information. Not at all. I even voted in it. I'm merely pointing out the absurdity of Phillip's suggestion that the only way to "respect" a survey is to implement whatever results from it. > I'm most certainly not proposing that the Board necessarily do or not do > anything based on the results.

If nothing gets done with the results, because our leaders adopt a stance on behalf of the project, I hope that the people who voted don't feel disrespected.
