There are a lot of weird things associated with the counter-cultural ideas that helped spawn FOSS. To suggest that people can't or shouldn't advocate for acceptance of their conceptual identity is pretty misguided. On the other hand everything shouldn't be turned into some kind of litmus test. I saw nothing at all confrontational in that writing on non-binary genders and in general think that people would be cool with someone deciding that they identify themselves however.

But getting back to the topic on hand, I remember reading about TFS and I thought wow this is really ambitious I wonder who will have the time to actually develop it. Evidently the author of said spec agreed. I do appreciate perfectionist programmers as I definitely tend towards hacking away to solve problems even if I chip the paint so to speak.
