How about: "support for the main hardware features on commonly-used hardware 
is Free Software, and included in the upstream software (kernel, X.Org X11, 
CUPS, SANE etc.) where appropriate"? Right now, this is clearly NOT the case 
for OpenGL on ARM, so by promoting ARM, we'd promote proprietary (graphics) 
driver use.
