But then...Poettering went to work for Microsoft, so...maybe they were right?

  I won't lie, if I had taken as much flack as Peottering did from the community[1], I'd take a job with MS just to troll them. 1: I'm personally not a fan of Pulse Audio, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't his decision to enable it in Ubuntu by default when it was still pretty broken, and holy shit I had like 12 backups of my working asoundrc at the time because configuring ALSA was such a pain, so PA was not in any sense gratuitous; it solved real problems.

    Not disagreeing with you. Just want to add that even if he just took the job to troll with us, it still shows that his principles were never far from theirs anyway, even if he was genuine at first.

    Miguel de Icaza was another one, hence why nowadays he is so focused on Apple's ecosystem.
