There's no question that the two of you have forgotten more about |

Linux than I'll even know but I don't really worry too much about |

| 18 |
the kernel and everything that gets piled on top sort of seems to take |
| 19 |
care of itself in the end. If freedesktop.org goes down a path where |
| 20 |
it gets too complicated then I believe\think\hope some other group |
| 21 |
will step forward quietly, fork that portion of our beloved world and |
| 22 |
go do the right thing. |
