This implies, that all who have been felt for a long time that RMS should step down are happy about the smear campaign. This is not true. As Dr. Stallman himself once said about Steve Jobs: “I am not glad he’s dead, but I am glad he’s gone”. Same, there are those who find the mobbing outrageous, but either aware of some real issues (barely known to the agnostical to computational freedom feminist mob and thus not discussed much) that are hardly resolvable while RMS is in charge, or simply do not believe that ‘benevolent dictator for life’ is a good solution, and therefore may be even disappointed that he for all that have not retired from GNU leadership.
