I have contrasted attending to the politics of the FSF with the technical
needs of Emacs, and asked which one was primary in the search for a
maintainer. That is all.

It's possible this is true. I don't seek to change anything about Emacs from a
legal standpoint, but I would be more vocal in wanting better support for non-
GNU platforms, such as OS X.
If this makes me an undesirable candidate, that's quite understandable. But
know that first and foremost I care about *Emacs*, and not the politics of the
FSF. If that's more important than technical considerations, let the
maintainer be chosen accordingly.
