And this is where the Tech. Committee decision really hurt the Linux 
community as a whole.

Essentially, this came down to giving in to blackmail (if you want GNOME 
you have to take systemd) - and yes, I read all the email about the 
decision, but that's really what it comes down to (IMHO). And in doing 
so, basically led to a general decline in the overall Linux ecosystem.
