I personally think that the essence of that nice post is in the very
last quote:

"Those who don't understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it,
poorly."

The rest is just history, and as always happens to history it is and
will be manipulated, rearranged, edulcorated, simmered and served in
several possible fashions, styles and shapes, according to the taste
of the narrator.

My major regret is that in the end the immense decisional
infrastructure of Debian, which I respected for years as an example of
bottom-up democracy, was not able to *decide* on such a delicate and
fundamental issue, which in fact was not just technical but
phylosophical (and if you call the result of the GR a "decision" then
we have very different views about what "deciding" means).
