From "we should only use DFSG software" we went to "we should only ship bytes that are DFSG compliant" and now the fanatics went as far as to suggest that only "free" hardware should be really supported and that telling users to load non-existing firmware from unavailable sources during a non-existing step in the debian installer process is acceptable. :-(

Soon we will see post claiming it is "easy" to create a completely new architecture with FPA's and that we should only use that. I have seen this all before in the "LispOS" groups that always seem to degrade into "we should design a scheme/lisp/foo system from the gate up!". The nutters then leave the group, never to be seen again. The bad thing is however that the sane people also left the group, to continue working on attainable goals. I hope Debian can resist so long...
