The underlying policy decision leading to reorganization and termination
had to have been deliberated by the same people who find other people
expendable.  Makes you wonder about the underlying policy itself and what
effects it might have that such folks would also find "acceptable."  Too
bad there's no netroots organization that can demand more than keyboard
accountability from those who claim to be acting on behalf of the "greater
good" when they do things like this.  But, then, we've had twelve years
during which human casualties are simply "collateral damage."  So, EFF may
simply consider this to be an instance of "friendly firing. . ."
