We stand righteously and forthrightly against change.
We will not be Forced, milled, or pushed in any particular direction.
And we will not be dragged by the nose, down.
We recognize that newer is not always better.
That often, in any particular field of endeavor,
newer is the worst garbage ever introduced in human history up until that
point.
Though things of true value, from time to time, rise up above the rest;
this is not accomplished through political maneuverings or social
manipulations.
We respect the value of the human mind.
We understand that a long in-production endeavor will create areas
of the brain dedicated to that task. We do not believe that the
rug should be pulled out from underneath people, or things changed
with the phase of the moon. Stability of process is key.
We are not widgets to be interchanged, or discarded as if a shell
casing by supposed betters.
(Nor are we unpaid interns, slaves, or the test beds for
the machinations of any particular company or development group.)
Thus we find the situation with systemd and libgtk3/gnome3 condemnable.
The undersigned;
