 No, no, my point was another thing:
"Whom the community have a bigger chance to trust?"
"Whose opinion means more in the public eyes?"
and finally:
"Who is the last one you shall argue with?"

Possibly it was a bit too emotional though...

The problem is, as i see it, in the fact that the current XF86 rulers
take the rest of the world as hostages.

They directly control a key piece of technology.
The question is whether we trust them to keep it in their control.
