Karl, what do you think about this rewording The second hunk adds real information, so I'll go ahead and install that.
The first hunk, though, I just can't agree with, and I feel pretty sure that rms would not approve of such a change either. "Helpless" is a good description of people faced with crashing executables without debugging symbols. Empowering everyone on equal terms is part of the overall GNU philosophy, after all. I personally would not have written it that way in the first place, but given that it is there now, I don't want to simply replace it with bland text, or occupy rms's time with it, either. Best, karl
