Re: Emacs vista build failures

[Richard M Stallman]

      If one can bundle resources by just making one
    place that is accessible to everyone better, one can achieve quite more.
    And this place are free operating systems.  When there were not any, the
    GNU project still worked on making the world better in a lot of hostile
    places.  But there is no point to distribute efforts still to places
    where nobody really needs to be.

Very well said.

    But their job does not in general benefit others.  So we are creating
    better opportunities for work that does not help the community.

I agree.
