Thanks for putting up with the fighting words!
There is probably truth in what you are saying. I'm disgusted by it all and
see no good reason to have had any of this conversation at all. It's a bunch
of hoop la. It makes no meaningful difference what-so-ever. Francis will go
on his way and do what he thinks is best and the rest of us will go on our
way and do what we think is best.
I do understand the line of thinking and points being argued and the problem
is nothing is going to be perfect. There are a lot of things we could do
better/differently/improve on. All I can say is we are working on them. I
don't necessarily think we can solve them all or it would even do us any good
to solve some of them. We rely on upstream distributions for instance to
package the majority of software. If we could actually tell people to not use
upstream software projects and they revert back to Microsoft Windows Trisquel
would be dead because as Canonical would go out of business. At the same time
people who don't care about freedom are hurting our community as it make sit
more difficult to convince manufacturers to release code.
In nay event it is what it is. Life moves on.
