This seems a shame to me. It's a promotion of pragmatism over idealism, suggesting that despite the project believing that a course of action is the right one, it won't happen, pre-supposing any future interest or effort will not exist, which is quite pessimistic (however realistic); essentially closing the door on the issue. I don't know what the driver is for this to done now. What precedent does this set for any other idealistic goals for the project? Perhaps we should give up on annexing non-free firmware, or relax other aspects of our committment to freedom in the face of hard realities like hardware not having free drivers? -- Jonathan Dowland Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
