IOW: it seems to me that our alternate vision draft is more a vision+mission ?

If so, I guess the introdcution statement is what is usually called "vision" ?

"KDE is a community of free software enthusiasts that strives to provide 
graphical user interfaces and applications for end-users for all types of 
computers across the device spectrum: desktops PCs, laptops, tablet, 
smartphones, etc.
We believe that software should be free and respectful of the privacy of our 
users. Our values are stated in the KDE Manifesto."

After all the discussions, I guess the manifesto doesn't really have to be 
mentioned there, since this is a separate issue ?
