Con (for me): The team is strongly anti-RMS, including wanting him to resign as GNU project leader.

  This is off-topic, but I have to bite: "anti-RMS" is such a reductionist way to express this. Is our language so impoverished that we must be reduced to "anti-this" and "pro-this"? Who's "the team", by the way? There is a maintainer collective and hundreds of contributors, and it should be no surprise that they don't all have the same opinion on everything. For what it's worth: I'm a GNU maintainer and I don't want RMS to be the leader of the GNU project. I'm not "anti-RMS", just "anti-RMS-as-GNU-project-leader". I do think RMS has a voice that should be heard when it is about free software philosophy.

    https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/ https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-pr... I would call that post on the GUIX blog strongly anti-RMS.

      That seems like a strange interpretation. That post says he is owed a debt of gratitude.

        You're wrong. Not giving RMS a free pass to do or say whatever he wants for all eternity is literally cancel culture.

        And that’s all, apparently. They would like to see him replaced as project leader.

  Not the whole team. There are people with different opinions.
