Boot from where?
I support RMS - he is socially clumsy - but freedom giant - There would
be no free software without him. IMHO.
Who do I need to tell about my support for him to get a boot?
Oh my, there's a list. Have you not seen the list?! I would link to it
but it's no longer accurate since the maintainers stopped accepting
changes. But there's also this...
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-statement-about-richard-stallmans-return-free-software-foundation-board
I like the part where they say "...Red Hat Contributors have told
us....". Do Red Hat employees realize Red Hat is a for-Profit company?
They keep acting like some sort of not-for-profit foundation that
accepts gifts and donations in exchange for making The World A Better
Place. From what I've seen anyone on their "free software community"
side left when CentOS got STREAM-lined.

Also, slackware15 BETA is infinitely more exciting than the selfish
screaming coming from redhat.

As about Red Hat - they are now IBM - different kind of animal -
definitely not a free SW company making money from support. I would not
call them selfish - just not as innovation and community oriented as
when they were Linux company. Kind of like 1960's pension fund into
government bonds and energy/railway/bank monopolies.
... it is slow motion time without in person meet ups!
