This thinking is worse than the purist/zealot thinking you were 
complaining about, since it has a fuzzy idea of what losing and winning 
actually mean, yet it makes the only goal to 'win'.  Even if, say, mp3 
and quicktime are compromised into the OS, are you still 'losing' if 
some users can't have their HDTV WMV9 and complain loudly about it? 
There's no end to it down that path.

Ain't that exactly what you are doing right now?  Fedora under the 
current definition really is pretty good.
