Ironic that the parent split the rest of this conversation thread into two unwavering camps about whether "unwavering" is a good attribute or not.

If you see Stallman's role as the personification of an ideal, you probably laud his "unwavering" position. If you see his role as that of a pragmatic politician, who should try and find small wins when large wins are out of reach, you see probably find his "unwavering" as impractical.
