If you read my posts carefully you might have noticed that I have not actually taken a position on this feature. I was only responding to the tone and content of your message which I still feel was unnecessarily alarmist and not adding anything to the discussion. I am not working on this feature and I'm quite capable of telling my system's firmware to do what I want so there's little practical implication for me. I see the arguments on both sides and I regret that we appear to be between a rock and a hard place here. At the same time I have a lot of trust in the people who are working on this in Fedora and I have faith that the project will try to seek the best compromise between the freedoms we value and the realities of the market and environment we find ourselves in. Invoking the conspiracy card on these discussions and decisions really just takes us further into the mire.
