What? Regretting it later?
It is difficult to have a free society when members are free to become
enslaved. That is why we have laws against chattel slavery.
Just as the imposition of order leads to the escalation of disorder,
there is a point of diminishing returns on liberty. We restrict some
peoples liberty in order to improve the overall state of freedom in
society.
This is why we oppose moves to get XP on the XO. This way we vendor-lock
the users to freedom...
