While I can only imagine the frustration the KWin developers
in particular must feel, personally I don't think we should
allow ourselves to be dragged down to their level by gracing
Shuttleworth' drivel with any kind of officially branded re-
sponse. I feel this is not a form of interaction we should
promote as valid and recognized for the FOSS community.

Frankly, his post is fairly self-destructive anyhow - it's
as far from a technical argument as can be, which is no doubt
readily apparent to any hacker who read it, and who generally
don't appreciate vacuous fear mongering and hysterics after
that fashion. We don't need to remind them of that, folks are
smart enough.

I recommend to just sit back, shrug and continue hacking,
there's a lot of stuff to do :).
