I must say, I know this is just a turn of phrase, but they are NOT welcome
to try more of this. We need to keep working to have a culture that shames
these attempts even when they are failed attempts.

And that said, the idea of TBL endorsing DRM is destructive. Whether it
possibly has any utility in bringing the systems to light where they can be
rejected, if the goal of rejection isn't PUBLIC then it's bad for the
culture. We can have respectable people telling the culture to respect DRM.
This is a cultural battle more than a technological one.
