I can see how this may be useful if it includes some informative
content regarding the situation and history of the issue. I am sure
other content can be put up there as well. Otherwise I think it a
waste since we could just put up links to the WishForm. If we can put
together some good content and possibly a link(s) on freebsd.org
and/or the foundation's page this may be able to build up some
pressure against Adobe. Does anyone have insight on how much impact
this would really make? Does the benefit of this outweigh the
possibility of wasted time and effort?
