There may be situations where going with binary drivers on Linux is 
a lesser evil than the alternatives.   I'm not pretending that the 
current state of open source graphics can handle every situation.
My argument is that we shouldn't encourage people down the binary
driver path unless they truly have a need for it.  I contend that
population is much smaller than the current number of binary driver
users.
