Not a R&C body, we will only ask for such reviews when we find problems with
marketing (even for Linux, there is a limit to what hype can be tolerated,
this BT article was marketing overkill) and /or FUD. If they do have good
points included, we will praise them for it.
Again, do we involve the Linux India group too? An all India reaction will
carry more weight. But BT is not available online, so getting the article
through might be a problem.
