Well for starters, this isn't a RHEL mailing list and we're not talking about the RHEL solution. If we're going to just start comparing things in order to find justification for any and all actions, why stop there?

I'm not the one who has taken specific actions designed to alienate the free software community. Let's get back to the topic at hand.
