Why?

Must I also yell from the rooftops that anything in Open Clipart isn't
necessarily 'the fd.o position' because it doesn't agree with several
peoples' ideas on styling?

D-BUS isn't necessarily 'the fd.o position'?

The GTK-Qt engine?

'Get Hot New Stuff' doesn't necessarily align with our goals, however
hazily defined 'our goals' may be?

That we host planet.kernel.org doesn't mean we're about Linux
exclusively and we'd like to trample the rights of the BSDs?

Hosting Qt input methods means we all hate GTK?

(Pet peeve: it's freedesktop.org, not free.desktop.org.)

Interesting assertion.
