Read up on the distinction between "necessary" and "sufficient" sometime.
I'm advocating necessary changes, I have not represented that they
will be *sufficient*.

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.

OK, you've devolved into sputtering ga-ga incoherence now, Go take a
