Thanks for changing the subject to rather positive one.

I don't mix myself in the above statement, just wish to point out that
majority of Linux kernel based distributions are in fact GNU
distributions, it is better to call them GNU/Linux distributions if
you mean such.

I am sure that majority of participants do not dismiss the whole
hardware freedom issues, and that we are very interested in that. I am
also very sure that FSFE and FSF and their members are interested in
that, though maybe current resources do not allow so much progress
towards those goals. 

Don't take it so hard that those good organizations cannot easily and
currently help you with the goals and targets you have envisioned.
