+You seem to be confusing different concepts here, just because a project is

+community based on it is a community that values freedom.

+is being unnecessarily restricted in Mageia.
+
+And no a choice is definitely not always arbitrary. Choices can be forced
+by unsurmountable limitations or technical incompatibilities or they can
+be arbitrary (i.e. not objectively necessary).
