For what it's worth, Andrew Gallant ("BurntSushi", the author of that post) is probably the voice I most trust on the Internet today. For a long time now, he has demonstrated that he is extremely judicious, level-headed, and well-thought-out on any position I've ever seen him take. People are not always polite / nice to him, and he unfailingly responds kindly and honestly with a level of effort that is truly amazing. He consistently demonstrates that he truly cares on a personal level, even when the situation is "unfair" or that level of care isn't being reciprocated.

All that to say: this message came from Andrew, and I believe it without question.

Having read a great deal from him, I just want to confirm everything said about Andrew Gallant, and I absolutely trust him too!

This blog post is a great testament to his human skills: https://blog.burntsushi.net/foss/
