Exactly because of that, so I understand better what you mean.
E.g. points 1, 8, 9, 10 are subjective opinions. If you think so, Ok. I'm 
actually undecided whether I agree with them or not.

I'm not sure about that list of 5 items. Are they all candidates for <foo> in 
your vision "template" ?

I think I disagree that freedom (I guess as in Free Software) is really a hard 
requirement to achieve personal control. There can be proprietary software 
which gives the user full control.
