Wow, interesting. I didn't know that before.
However, this is by no means a contradiction. Rather the opposite: It
is a common pattern which you see around the landscape since about
1920 (I had the direction politics/history as specialization during
high school).
But let me better do something related to xwin-discuss, which is on my
schedule right this week.
The other discussion should better not be discussed. And, actually, I
do not care too much about the non-technical part. So, in that sense,
I am finally working a bit on something interesting, which will be of
relevance not only to the (still upcoming) Natamar_x86, but also to
Schillix, Belenix and maybe other distros. Reality is a sad,
disappointing and dark business. Let's rather return to something
which shines, is bright and can be lots of fun    :-)
