The people who issued the notice aren't zealots...

In fact, if anything, the kernel maintainers have been accused of being not zealous enough by some including GNU and (though this site has zero credibility) boycottnovel.com.

In fact, if anything, this group is practical and adaptive enough to live with the situation as it is. The point they're making is that it could be made better.

If that's Ivory Tower idealism in your view then so be it.

There are problems with closed source drivers though NVidia, to their credit, does a far better job than many many others with their binary blob drivers.

Then again, realism has little to do with your preaching, does it?
