The most important part is forgotten though: We not only write mostly C, but also try to use POSIX(01-08)-interfaces and established extensions.

Well, they are, but for most distributions, git HEAD is not easy to handle, so we, of course, also tag versions and they have a meaning. > > - Code reviews are thorough, patches are very sane IMO.

This is plain wrong. We just don't support in the sense of Ubuntu Helpdesk, but we definitely support even newcomers when they RTFM and ask sensible questions (after we flamed them for at least an hour). > > - People are picky about what system you use, if you use chrome/gnu, hide > > it. I use Chromium and don't hide it. Some software, e.g. web-browsers, are interfaces to a toxic-environment and the web is one of a kind. Now, to close it up: The main problem here is that this list could set things in stone which we probably think of as dynamic factors. For instance, more and more people discover Go for certain applications. As we are an elitist bunch of hackers, everyone joining suckless obeys these unspoken rules anyway.
