   "We've always done it this way" is not necessarily a good defence of an
   existing practice.

That wasn't the claim, it is how we do it currently, and have been
doing for decades though.  If you have concrete suggestions, please
send them to the GNU Advisory Committee.

   I don't think you get to speak for who is or is not a member of the GNU
   project.  As far as I know, "GNU" isn't trademarked.

I said that the group isn't speaking for the GNU project, nor does it
represent it.  If you want to know more, feel free reach out to the
GAC or RMS.
