People, it became a bit difficult to participate in this conversation,
and we're not going to fight each other, please.

Elijah's proposal doesn't find consensus now, but we can at least
agree on some of the points. Can we focus on sorting them out, and
later focus on the dissenting ones?

I'd like to make an experiment. Come back to the original 11 points,
and remove any point that brought contradictory argument. Then we can
consider the common ground, and see clearly what we're really starting
from.  It would take me a couple of hours to review the thread and
sort it out, and I'm ready to do that as soon as I can.

In the meantime, can we refrain from getting angry at each other?

Nobody has the RIGHT solution: the world is complex enough that more
than one path will happen concurrently, and most of them will be wrong
anyway.  It's important to understand the issues associated with each
path, and their relative advantages.  In the end, we don't want to
follow the Cult of The Best Software, but we want to provide free
software tools that will become infrastructure.  It has to be floating
beyond each one's ego.  If we can't do that, we're simply playing the
game of divide and conquer, and will fail. There's a momentum now that
we need to ride, not miss.
