Well... I don't want to troll and I think we have more constructive
things to do even with AOO and ASF (which I think is a reputable
foundation and has been a net plus for FOSS).
But  sometimes it's also useful to call FUD what it is; and this
negative energy spread around by a few rotten apples helps no one. If
anything, it shows how immature these apples are.
