Really?  What you are asking is hardly "every step of the way".  What you're asking for is a rewrite of the foundation for what the Project was founded.  You worry about losing users because we don't make it easy to use non-FOSS software.  I worry about losing contributors when you start changing the beliefs of the Project.  In my opinion, you haven't provided a very good arguement as to why we should fundamentally change what we've stood for for the past ten years.
