However, what worries me is how influential he is in some open source

if the gnome developers followed his advice.
1) Why care about *BSD as a desktop?
2) Why care about *BSD as a workstation? (Which I see as a next level in stability/usability beyond a toy "desktop")

In the specific case about Gnome - really if you care so much then you can submit patches and contribute. If nobody is willing to do the work (scratch the itch) then ultimately it really doesn't matter.

Oh this is flamebait, but I hope gnome does do this.. Maybe then more people would forget about it and focus on making KDE better ;)
