Are we sure we are we sympathetic? I waffle on the answer to that
personally. Sometimes I'm personally very sympathetic to the plight of
users who want to start on the path but have practical constraints
that keep them using a perfectly open set of technologies. Sometimes I
just want to tell everyone to suck it up and to show some backbone and
choose to give up their oh-so-very-important proprietary encoded
entertainment and media. Really depends on the ratio of caffiene to
alcohol in my bloodstream.
Even if we aren't sympathetic to using closed formats we should be
sympathetic to people whose data has to be converted. Unfortunately we
can no more include an mp3=>ogg converter then we can an mp3 player.
