This is the OP: Dirk <yqlsxepzrclk(a)mailinator.com> So no real name and picture of this guy. Sure, I've got another point of view myself and don't like those changes for Linux too, for example, when ever possible I try to get outdated versions of GIMP and there are many changes and new policies I don't like. I also don't like many members of the community, but we are humans with different worldviews and even if other people don't tolerate your or my world view, we should tolerate others and not do the same. Denunciation by email to an open list is absolutely unacceptable, for several reasons, e.g. people could have the same name, or look very similar. Your claim suffers from missing evidences! Even if this should be meant as a joke, it could excited people. Even if this should be mean serious, while being the truth, this isn't the way civilized people act. If "MICROSOFT HIRED PEOPLE TO SABOTAGE OPEN SOURCE", then we should talk about it, without witch-hunting. At least fr me it's not important who are those people, for me it's important to know more about this issue. Are there any evidences for your claim? I don't like many changes, because some changes make Linux closer to Windows, but I use Linux to be far away from Windows. Why should Microsoft hire people to make Linux more like Windows? I don't do research about this topic myself, it seems t be a conspiracy theory and not worth the hassle. This is the chance for you Dirk, to undergird your hard claim. Btw. IMO this belongs to http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic if we should continue without witch-hunting. Including the witch-hunting it belongs to /dev/null.
