Not only they are lost users; but they will spend the next 20 or 30 years commenting how debian is broken (regardless of what the current status might be at that point) putting off potential users that might actually believe them. I still regularly see comments on how KDE is bad because it relies on non-free qt libraries. -- Salvo Tomaselli "Io non mi sento obbligato a credere che lo stesso Dio che ci ha dotato di senso, ragione ed intelletto intendesse che noi ne facessimo a meno." -- Galileo Galilei http://ltworf.github.io/ltworf/
