im not sure what was the context of that; but i think i agree fully with that
statement

when i wrote that the FSF should be the leadership, that is mainly because
distros can not agree on some of the most essential things like "is foo libre or
not?"; and we are currently not allowed to do so by consensus

it would be ideal to form a consensus perhaps with "guidance" from the top; as
long as the community would be mature enough to accept the consensus,
_whatever_ that is, and work to change the opinions of those in disagreement
