Well I understand that projects change throughout the time. I do not see that as any kind of loss any more, as GNU free operating system is in its existence in many various GNU/Linux distributions and some others based on other kernels. I would call projects like IceWM window manager to become GNU project, IceWM is one of fastest window managers, those maintainers could get some donation and move it into GNU. Then there is nice and small "GNU Desktop". Why not? There could be many various GNU projects if programmers would be moved to GNU and given some kind of support like web hosting and official promotion and maybe some donations from FSF. Jean
