OK, think about this: how many Linux *developers* are running off of
386's? How much "development power" will Linux *lose* if developers
with old hardware are alienated?
We've all seen this kind of thing before: people politicking the
Linux community to somehow give their project more resources. But
it's a volunteer effort -- people work on what seems important to
them. Until Linux takes over the world, it's *not* a zero-sum game.
I understand that you want more people to work on your problems, to
the exclusion of theirs. But doesn't it seem kind of petty to demand
it?
