<PRE>I don't believe that adhering to FSF will provide anything to Mageia/Mandriva users.
I'm used to PLF, Flash plug-ins, video drivers, excellent hardware detection and other things that are part of the Mandriva experience.
Let's not shoot ourselves in the foot just for the sake of a small publicity stunt: if Debian doesn't make it to their list, I don't think we should even try.
My 2cents.
Salut,
Sinner
