The "failure to stay relevant" is an odd comment that I have indeed read many times (mostly from English-speakers; as I said, in Latin America the FSF is admired).
It's odd because it's worded in a way that sounds as if the FSF wasn't necessary now (or maybe even never), instead of thinking that the FSF is needed more than ever, now that there's a war against general purpose computing and against privacy and users' rights, and that if the GPL3 and AGPL didn't work -- which is possible! -- then how do we fix that?
Instead it's either apathy and even scorn against the FSF, which is alarming to me.
