But you're making some rather unsupportable assumptions about
whether
the changes you desire will really lead to the outcome you hope for.
Read up on the distinction between "necessary" and "sufficient"
sometime.
I'm advocating necessary changes, I have not represented that they
will be *sufficient*.
You've refused to acknowledge that there are other alternatives
in the Linux landscape already doing the exact same thing you want
Fedora to do.
And that would be who, exactly?
And you've refused to articulate why every
distribution must follow this same course of action.
No, just the ones that want market share among non-technical users.
Or, taking a larger view, Linux fans who actually want to do something
to stem the tide of creeping DRM and locked-down video card and the
like. To prevent that, we need to be the 800-pound gorilla, not
a niche product appealing to techies only.
You're trying to take choice away from people.
OK, you've devolved into sputtering ga-ga incoherence now, Go take a
tranquilizer.
