An interesting article but it irks me when authors downplay the bad things that have already happened and are going on right now. To write in the future tense seems to against the general tone of such articles or their headings (see also articles on privacy). Perhaps they're trying to stay positive? Shrug.

At least with software I’ve pretty much always felt uneasy when there was lots of polish. When I was a kid and I saw the web pages auto generated from texinfo I’d get this reflexive “oh this is written by a programmer and not some PR person” feeling even though I had no idea what texinfo or GNU was.

  Honestly I've never trusted the Polish but I think you can rely on Germans.
