Perhaps I didn't take enough care in emphasizing
>> I don't mean to accuse Red Hat of anything in advance of the evidence
I'm worried, but still hopeful. For starters, Alan Cox is on the inside,

I just wanted to echo Adam Richter's statement that Red Hat's actions
are going to have broad consequences, and I hope they'll think about
them carefully. He showed remarkable insight, and expressed it very
well.
