I would propose an option that was better. And if all options
on a ballot were unacceptable to me, to the extent I could not live
with them, I would seriously reconsider my fit with the project, and
perhaps decide it is time to move on.
Ranking FD first means you are not happy with the ballot; and
in that case, you should have spoken up earlier, if you really care.

Nice spin. Kinda like "Not allowing me to be a bigot is a
pretty biased idea -- it discriminates against bigots".
We used to try to reach a compromise -- and, in that case, if
one is in a minority, you try to convince the others, and you work
with them -- "my way or the highway" is pretty stupid: all you get
is bad blood.

Eh, that's it, I guess. No 300 million dollar unveiling event for
this kernel, I'm afraid, but you're still supposed to think of this as
the "happening of the century" (at least until the next kernel comes
along). Oh, and this is another kernel in that great and venerable
"BugFree(tm)" series of kernels. So be not afraid of bugs, but go out
in the streets and deliver this message of joy to the masses. Linus
