McGovern: Handing over

Hear, hear! That's probably the most significant comment in this thread. I recall also the coordinated campaign now over a decade in the past to keep Stallman off the GNOME board. And let's not forget GNOME founder Icaza jumping ship to Microsoft to become a paid tool promoting OOXML, earning the moniker "traitor to the Free Software Community" -- quite rightly in my book -- from Stallman.

We should be quite clear about the history of these organizations and what they really have represented historically. GNOME and its push for Flatpak in particular is promoting tooling historically associated with proprietary software, including providing non-free software on Flathub.

Thus my objection to the present GNOME on multiple areas of disagreement.
