In my e-mail, I explained why working on those patches would be detrimental to my goals, so I wouldn't do it. FTR, there's no sign of trouble. In fact, there's absolutely nothing new. David's patches are being considered for adoption because they make technical sense, Fedora and Debian keep on privileging the short term over the long term, and Linux-libre remains essential for distros/users who don't want to distribute/install non-Free Software. Now, could you please do me a favor and spend the time to read before gratuitously flaming again? And, if it's not asking for too much, would you please save to yourself the name-calling attacks on others' positions and arguments as 'rhetoric', especially when you show obvious signs that you haven't taken even the trouble of reading them? It's quite disrespectful and unproductive. Please go look up 'rhetoric' and realize that it doesn't mean "arguments I'm not interested in hearing/reading" nor "arguments I don't agree with", or even "consequences of premises I don't agree with".
