1. As someone in the middle of that whole debacle, I'd like to clarify that I'm not French. In fact, I wonder how many glibc contributors we have in France. I'll admit that I wouldn't be able to tell French from Belgian, etc. given that, well, I'm not French. 2. As for the manual text, would it be appropriate for me to send emails to this list about endangered Wildebeest? Why not? The list is about GNUs after all! How about "Free Palestine" or "Free Kashmir"? Why not? How about "Stop internet censorship"? The whole thing is a matter of debate *only* because of the will of the chief GNUisance. 3. That censorship claim is ridiculous. If anything, the current GNU structure gives the chief gnuisance power and he abused it to keep all of us hostage for a year. 4. That thread ended up exposing much of what is wrong with the top-down approach of maintenance. RMS threatened (and Alex executed on his behalf) to use his veto power when clearly the majority of the glibc community was against his viewpoint on the topic. Siddhesh
