If nothing else, there needs to be a clear concession plan ASAP. One refrain I kept reading when he came back to the FSF was that we needed him back because no one else could lead this movement. Really? No one? In 36 years since the FSF was founded it hasn't managed to attract a single individual with the sufficient combination of motivation, morals, and skill to replace Stallman? If that's not the definition of failure I don't know what is.
The man is 70 years old. Decent odds they'll be doing without him sooner than later.

- MBCook 4y agoI kind of wonder if we’re going to get a mini-revolution/blooming when RMS dies and all the good work he’s been holding back flourishes. Whatever happens, we’ll learn for sure just how important he is now as opposed to important what he had previously done was.
