    Does RMS really think someone should do MAINTENANCE and not be paid?
    ...
    The next time I'd like to hear from RMS is when NIL and "true" Emacs are as
    usable for doing real software development as Gosling's "semi-ersatz" one
    is now is.  At that point he might have some credibility (though from my 
    limited exposure to him it seems unlikely ...)

Before more people go embarass themselves with ignorant flames like the one
above, there one little fact they should know:
RMS has plenty of credibility.  He is the author of the real, original,
that-which-Gosling's-and-all-others-imitate Twenex/ITS Emacs.  He maintained it
for much longer than Gosling's emacs has been in existence. His Emacs continues
to thrive and is still available for free to anybody who wants it..
