Why should we avoid that? It is true. If it suits our purpose, we
should say it.

We should not say that, because it is not a good position for us to
take. We should maintain flexibility about ScummVM so we can do what
is strategically best.

I see, but is that important to prove? Why would we want to prove it?
ScummVM is not very important in a positive way. Mainly it is a pain
in the neck.
