Mr Chan,

enduring your posts to this mailing list is really hard.
Elsewhere you would be considered essentially a troll. Our list are 
usually quite open.

I think this analogy is a bit far fetched and quite out of place.

Perhaps some people here do have an ideology, because this is a real 
open source project and part of the FSF. Other may not feel so strongly 
about it as others, but this comment is again out of place.
Take your "commercial" attitude away. I don't get a paycheck for working 
on GNUstep, neither do most of people here. So I don't need a boss which 
tells me to follow the latest marketing trend.

"get the work rolling". Work is rolling, commits are flowing.
Where are your patches? Where is your work?

Please take a more respectful attitude.
