Sometimes the mail address changes, for jody as well. Do not let your
grep judge... too fast.

--> [email protected] (dnsd, timeout, and unbuffer if it would
be accepted)

Let check this, instead:

--> uncertainty is the keyword

So let check this, because it is the root of the uncertainty

Unless participating in a community the single effort is useless, is
this a principle? Nope, ideology.

Without a community there is no politics, with a community decisions
are taken by consensus.

Consensus is power, and the power attracts psychopaths, and
s/consensus/narrative/ then rejection: in or out.

In or out, is nothing else than hurd management. But what would be
sw-libre without politics? Free speech.

And free speech isn't here to please everyone and even anyone. It is
here because it is one of the fundamentals.

So, be back up from uncertainty: free speech creates confusion and
people hate confusion while preferring a single narrative? Uhm.

So, back to community, consensus, narrative, and finally authority.
Without authority there is no trust, no official busybox.

Spoiler: it never happens to be at any moment of busybox development
an official busybox. And that's perfectly fine.

Uncertainty ceases to exist when "hard" fundamentals are recognised
and accepted and the outcome is simple straightforward:

--> if someone needs an authority that "certifies" busybox, then they
need a product and thus a company (or similar entity).

That's HOW and WHY companies like Red Hat get alive and running. Trust
isn't cheap but given AS-IS isn't cheap either.

In the first case someone 3rd-party needs to exist and issue a service
on a stable basis, in the second the price is the risk.

This is not a speech from someone out of a business school, it is HOW
people, society, bazaar work since we had walked on two feet.
