  Your boycott won't change anything. Is the only avenue of political change that you can see through the lens of individual consumption? I genuinely don't see boycotts as powerful as others, so maybe I'm missing something here. However, shouldn't all avenues be taken if you're attempting to change something?

      They only work if there is a power differential in-line with a block of consumers. I don't see ZFS developers as being a large enough block to affect anything, so their suggestion largely seems to be saying, "just do nothing instead."
