No, I'm arguing that *if* the concerns you articulate represent a
significant number of "corporate* customers (i.e., a "market"), their
interests would be better represented by *some* organization who is paid
to reflect them.  RHEL and Ubuntu LTS could potentially be contributors
to that pool.

I'm mostly arguing the FLOSS project should feel free to ignore
high-maintenance-cost commercial concerns until those concerns bring
either blook (funded developer time) or treasure (pooled to pay for the
same time) to the table to pay for them.
