I couldn't agree more with this philosophy, and I really appreciate
this concise explanation.

If there is a similar philosophy statement for Trisquel in general
please point me and others to it.  It will answer a lot of questions
posted to the list.

My suggestion is to get the netinst image working so that any user can
then make a fully free system however they want- server, mini,
desktop, etc.  It might be better to spend time making it easier for
people to make Trisquel into whatever they want rather than going back
and forth on defaults for different versions.
