Re: [GNU-linux-libre] Proposal to revise FSDG to exclude SaaSS-only software clients

[bill-auger]

im glad you took this discussion to the FSDG mailing list - this
is the appropriate venue to discuss such matters

you should not single-out parabola though, WRT the telegram
clients - nearly every distro distributes telegram clients,
including trisquel, guix, and pureos - the purpose of this
work-group is to make decisions which affect all FSDG distros -
if this work-group concludes that some program is unfit,
parabola would remove it immediately, and the others should too

before such a general consensus is reached, it is best to avoid
asking any one distro to remove some software, which the others
would still have, because the others were not included in the
conversation

also, there is no reason to single-out that one program - the
very same argument could be made for many programs, such as
'hub' and 'weboob' - i think you could serve your own argument
better by generalizing it, and removing focus from any one
program or service
