<a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> isn't about punishing vendors of<br>> proprietary drivers, it's about _rewarding_ vendors of open source<br>> drivers.</blockquote><div><br>[snip] <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
You can pain it as a idealogical battle if you want<br>to but that's not what this is about at all.</blockquote><div><br>The painting/framing was done in Max Spevack's original statement which rhetorically counterbalanced a (non-existing AFAIK) "desire to not make concessions to proprietary software vendors" versus "the very real problem of unnecessarily breaking the systems of users". /That/ is a very particular and ideological take on the problem, and it's annoying because it's certainly not what some of us are arguing, but it purports to represent the only two-sides of the coin.
<br><br>Anyway, this is all hot air if the decision is already made, but it's not very impressive that /my/ user experience of "yum upgrade xorg" to get better free software is being sacrificed so that someone else's non-free software is left where it is.
