I agree. Please also keep in mind that AFAIK a possibility exists to more or less split these two parts, by nominating a "steering committee" for the project, which will act as the FSF representative and deal with most of these issues. Several projects (GCC and GDB, to give just 2 examples) already have that, although the split is not very strong there (because there's no need, IIUC). Richard, please correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding.
