Taking a look at the GNU/Linux user demographic, there is little enough
doubt that "attracting unbelievers to freedom" is happening in copious
amounts. The vast majority enjoys its fruits but can't be bothered all
too much about its origins. Creating cheapened versions for the sake of
temporarily catching their attention span does not seem like a
sustainable long-term bargain.
Watering down always needs some substance to start with.
