We cannot really know because he used to wear both hats and depending
on who you ask they'll tell you he made decissions as either Chief
GNUisance or as FSF President. If you say it was as Chief GNUisance
then it is a good question where that authority came from. And whether
we still need a position like Chief GNUisance going forward. Authority
in a volunteer organisation is always tricky. Which makes these
governance discussions so difficult.
