Ouch, never be sarcastic/ironic on e-mail. I completely agree with

via scheme-scripts (that is true), which Tim Hockin made (some kind of)
a joke about. And by saying that I tried to express that what Tim Hockin
perhaps means is ridiculous, does perfectly makes sense for
other. We need to have choises/alternatives/anarchy/etc. because
we are all different, etc.

What exactly do you mean by Linux "needing" something ?
And how are you going to impose that single GUI environment ?
Will you take me to court when I write a new window manager. or
a widget that doesn't have your 'imprimatur' ?
If you want your freedom to program limited, please goto
Windoze or MAC. But please do no impose your limitations on
others.
I know Linux people love to claim how choice is our strength, but I think
it's bunk. Linux needs a single GUI environment that has a lot of deep
flexibility
Yes! I completely agree with this.
