My point is that there are certain areas where common infrastructure is
necessary to make the free desktop "just work". The VFS is perhaps the
most important candidate - but also the hardest part. Other problems can
be - and already have been solved - with common fd.o standards.

For the rest it's cool to have some kind of competition.

desktop operating systems and nobody would ever complain.
