I was curious about that too. I think the result would've been the same. I hope these organizations (including the FSF) can remain focused solely on free software. Getting involved in other issues lowers the odds that a given free software community member will agree with all of those, harming the community overall.

How about: it's unrealistic to expect most users to understand enough to care, in the foreseeable future. Therefore, free software organizations need to make a choice of mass appeal vs free software purity. I'm of the opinion that you're never going to get all those users, so why cater to them? Also, if you don't get them on your own terms (avoiding proprietary software), what's the point?
