Jay's position is a non-starter, there is no recognized freedom of convenience so saying we have 'lost our freedom' is hyperbolic and untrue. This is also a mischaracterization of the Fedora position, as far as I know it, which only to participate with a pre-signed boot loader on hardware which is user serviceable, so they explicitly aren't making Fedora for systems with a locked boot loader. It should be obvious that if there is a significant change in the x86 market toward locked boot loaders then there will be a new crossroads and debate, Fedora will probably only ever support hardware which is not boot locked.

Also I should point out that if you are trying to convince someone of your ideas that the apparent dislike for Microsoft also undercuts whatever idea you are trying to promote and will cause you to lose. It's better to be _for_ something than anti, the negativity is just a turn off and seems like sour grapes to most people.
