In that case, objections that "we shouldn't add this support because it supports a non-free system" are not correct I must disagree. This is an issue of practical effects, not principle. If the practical effect is that Emacs does less, and is partly replaced by Chrome, that's something we want to discourage people from using. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
