How did we end up in a place where you consider follow-the-leader to
simply override strong community consensus? There is no (successful)
glibc without the community.
(Yes, we could argue what the community is considered to be; IMO, the
glibc community is the obvious choice here, not the FSF as a whole.
Nobody in this thread has suggested that the FSF should not publish
something elsewhere.)
